Crack Crack Crackle

Hey there  from a very hot and humid Darwin, the wet season is not far off - the joys of tropical living - I love it really :-)

 

I have been playing with Helmar's Two step crackle medium to make some cards

This is how I went about it;

1. Coat a sheet of cardstock with Helmar's step 1 crackle medium and allow to dry.

2. Apply a coat of Helmar's step 2 crackle medium and allow to dry.

3. Cut, tear the desired pieces of crackle paper and start  building your cards.

4. Easy hey ?

5. I used an assortment of embellies, chippies and ink sprays to finish them off - adhereing them into place with Helmar's Acid Free Glue, 450 Quick Dry & Quickfix Adhesive Runner

6. So what are you waiting for, start crackling today - remember you can share your Helmar creations on our Facebook page we love to see what you create with our awesome products.

Here are the cards I made with my piece of crackled cardstock - I did also use another 2 sheets of plain cardstock as the base of my cards choosing to add the crackled paper on top.

 I just love the added texture that Helmar's 2 step Crackle Medium has to offer.

 nothing like tearing to add extra dimension and texture ........... look at the crackle popping!!

This is my Dad & his best mate Morton. 

Morty isn't with us any longer, he had a heart condition & sadly i lost another brother :-( 

We are family of all girls, 4 of us actually & over the years we had a few brothers King Billy Coke Bottle - Billy was a stocky little fella - I remember a wedding photo of Billy and I, he was dressed in a tuxedo !! & there was Prince another little fella but hairy.

Our Brothers spoilt us with pressies & cards stamped with their paw prints, its those special things in life that make you smile - HEY ??
