Playing Around...

I'm not big on paint. My own pages are simple and straight-forward, and I'm good with that. I rarely try new techniques--but I have to say, I'm completely sold on these...Tim Holtz's crackle paints come with a brush attached to the inside of the lid. They go on like butter, and really do crackle (with the aid of my hair dryer--but you can also use a heat tool.) Here is what the pink (Worn Lipstick) looks like on chipboard, once it has been inked with distressing ink to bring out that crackled look:
I was warned beforehand to use it on chipboard because it would make cardstock buckle. So I knew ahead of time to not waste my time on that. I liked it so much, I tried the red (fired brick)...
So then I got to playing around, and I added these gigantic Dresden wings...
I think I like them this way best:

I plan on making this the focal point to a cool layout I hope to complete this weekend. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Many of you got the March Add-On that went on sale last Friday with the Tea Stain crackle paint in that kit. If you have a chance to play, please share photos with me, and I'll be glad to post the pictures on the blog. Kind of fun to try something new...

Enjoy your Thursday!
