Tone on texture tutorial, handmade card by Debby Hughes using Simon Says Stamp and Tim Holtz products #crackle #texture

Things are a little crazy for me at present, see below for more info, but if I can, I still like to find a pocket of time for creativity. At the moment, I am enjoying finding ways to add texture to my cards, and so today I’m playing with Crackle Paste. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

When I first added the Crackle Paste over the ink blended background, I didn’t like how it looked. The dampness of the paste reactivated the Distress Oxide inks and dyed the paste a little, so I had a rather strange mucky looking paste over the panel. However, once dried, allowed to crackle and then ink blended over the top and I was delighted how the Crackle Paste took the colour.

2020 has not been a good year. We’ve had a family bereavement, various family illnesses and of course, Coronavirus has affected us all. Thankfully, we have avoided the virus. I am hoping by the time this post goes live, we will have had a ray of light during these dark times. My daughter made the decision to get a puppy last year and planned on getting one this autumn, but circumstances change and she is now living and working from home. Schedules were moved forward, and as I write this, we have just a few days to go to puppy pick up. If you are on Instagram, then be prepared for lots of puppy spam in my stories!
