Saturated Canary–Janessa

I had loads of fun with this card, the image is Janessa by Saturated Canary Digis  I used Copic sketch Markers to colour the digi stamp and the background designer papers are a mixture of Raspberry Road Designs digital papers and My Memories Suite Girlfriend papers I designed the layout of the card in My Memories Suite software by making an 8 x 8 scrapbook layout, once I had everything looking how I wanted it I saved the individual papers then printed them out.

I embellished the card with a satin ribbon bow a Spellbinders Sprocket die cut, twine gems and a button.

Viva Decor Craco Crackle Colour

 

Its ages since I got my fingers dirty and I love playing with different mediums and decided to give the Viva Decor range a whirl, I used the Craco Crackle Colour paint and the Precious Metals Paint and made a crackled book my supplies were bought from Creativity Direct

As it was difficult to photograph I took three pictures for you.

You can see how well the Craco Crackle colour works, it did state to leave it 24 hrs but I managed to speed up the process to 20 minutes just by using a heat gun.

It is easy to apply as you can use a paintbrush and add a fairy thick layer or use a pallet knife to spread it.

I only added the Craco Crackle to the outer casing and spine of the book once I new it was cracked and dried I sponged over some of the precious metal paint and painted the inside of the book with it too, i finished the book by attaching a ribbon around the book and tying a bow and added some memory embellishments to the front.

I used the smaller of the two books to decorate

I used a couple of the Memory Box dies the snowflake flourish and the big snowflake, the sizzix snowflake embossing folder and a Spellbinders Label die which I painted with the Viva Decor Croco Crackle colour and then used the precious metal paint of the top from Creativity Direct and yes I squealed when it cracked ha ha! I used copic markers to colour the image. I finished off with stickles glitter glue and a pretty ribbon from Ribbon Carousel
