Day 3 - Trying New Stuff

I've found these two very interesting products - Crackle and Rust. Crackle is a gel you paint on between two coats of acrylic and as it dries, it shriks and cracks the top coat so the bottom shows through.


Rust is a two part thingie where coat one is acrylic paint that has iron filings in it. Coat 2 is an acid that makes the rust. Then I tried the rust on some metal tape that I embosed and stuck to a card. Even the paper got rust on it...very cool.












So I got VERY brave and added the drawer to the back under the niche. I didn't have any match boxes so I used a metal box..the bottom part of the lid that I tried out the rust on. I'll cover it with card stock so that it goes in and out. By the way - the cutouts look so neat cause I sand the cut edges with a sand block and then put acrylic gel on it just like on the page edges. Then I covered it with rice paper while the gel was wet.
