It’s fun to add another element to your card making routines, and incorporating crackle paste is a fun addition that adds a lot of character and charm to your projects. This floral frame card is proof of the magic.
We’re taking a break from all the fun summer card designs and shifting into a vintage vibe. Today’s card pairs several of our beautiful products with Distress Opaque Crackle Paste. Marla has us wow’d and inspired with this absolutely stunning and unique design today. Let’s jump into the tutorial and learn how to use crackle paste for a distressed look on your cards.
- Using Mixed Media cardstock and two of our 5004D Classic Nested Oval dies, cut a large, wide frame.
- Using two more 5004D Classic Nested Oval dies that are smaller, cut a second thin oval.
- Ink the ovals using Distress Ink in Vintage Photo, Tea Dye, and a touch of Frayed Burlap. Adding the darker ink on the smaller frame.
- Adhere the thin oval to the larger oval to create a faux photo frame.
- Add a thick layer of Distress Opaque Paste over the frame, cleaning off the edges before setting aside to dry.
