Posts Tagged ‘Distress Crackle Paint’

I have been spending a lot of time on Tim Holtz’s blog and watching his demo videos here. I don’t think that I ever had made something for myself until now.  I made a Journey book.

These are most of the supplies that I used.

I used Grungepaper, Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Popsicle, Cranberry Zing, Black Magic), Distress Ink (Worn Lipstick), Distress Crackle Paint (Tattered Rose), Sizzix Tim Holtz Die Tattered Flowers, Tim Holtz Philospy Tag, and pearl for the flower.  I also used two stamps from The Journey Tim Holtz collection.

The book is 6×6. I just cut 2 pieces of grungepaper 6×6, inked them and then covered them (front and back) with the crackle paint.  I used my heat tool to speed up the crackle process and then stamped the cover.  What is a book with out a little bling?  I used my Jolee Rhinestone tool and adhered Swarovski Crystals to the cover.

I love this flower!!!! I cut the grunge paper flower on my Big Shot Express and then sprayed each of the flower layers with the tattered angels glimmer mist and then let them dry over night.  They sparkle and shine and are so cute!

The paper, is a 5.00 pack that they sell at Wal-Mart.  I bound my book using the Cinch!  I am no Tim Holtz by any stretch of the imagination, but I did use the tools that he created and made just a little something of my own.
