Cristina made a small box designed for Valentine’s Day where you can hold a gift voucher.I thought about the theme and I was inspired to create a crackle’ background using Distress Cracklè Paint Rock Candy and pieces of glass for the heart that I then colored with the help of Ranger’s Alchool Ink.I created the brick effect with the PrimaMarketing Impasto Paint and the base of Finnabair’s Heavy Gesso Black

Andrea tore and cut up pieces of a bigger collage to make these terrific tiny tags. She used Pinkfresh Studio’s Fillable Tag with Pocket dies, Inky Antics’ Color Wheel stamp set, and Tim Holtz’s Photobooth folks.

Anna-Karin made a lighthouse tag with a sky made of Ranger’s Opaque Crackle Paste. The sea is also crackled in a sense, because is is covered with Tim Holtz Mica Flakes.

Barbara loves so much to use Ranger Crackle Paste on the edges of her projects! She created a tag to encourage all people to tell their stories. Tim Holtz Sizzix Retro Type and Alphanumeric Tiny Type Upper are perfect for this work! She added Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Halftone Stencil and  Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Filed Notes stamp set to complete this Etcetera Tag.

Cheiron created a Valentine card with using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Bottled Up die along with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint to make some fun vases for her heart bouquets. She used the Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text stamps, stamping the entire set as a background and added little felt hearts cut from the Falling Hearts dies to create her “flowers”.

Emma was in her element with this theme and she created a vintage style home decor project featuring a Baseboard Doll as the focal point and using plenty of Tim Holtz Crackle Paste and Rock Candy Crackle Paint to add texture and cracks to her Cathedral Window Frame and Vignette Panels.

Kath created a card for a cat loving friend with a sense of humour. The fun image from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Snarky Cat and sentiment from the Idea-ology Snarky Small Talk Stickers will crack her up. She also added a little subtle crack-le using the Tim Holtz Bubbles Layering Stencil with Ranger Opague Crackle Texture Paste.

Macarena crackled up a pair of butterflies from Tim Holtz Sizzix Tattered Butterfly die using Ranger Texture Paste Opaque Crackle and put them on a panel stamped and embossed with Simon Says Stamp You Are Background stamp. She used Stamperia Music 12×12 paper pad for her base.

Maura cracked up over these fun-loving Yoga Frogs. She made four ATC’s using the Stampendous Frog Yoga stamp set, Simon Says Stamp’s Flora stencil, a mix of Distress Paints including Twisted Citron, and topped them with Ranger Clear Candy Crackle.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint on the background and decorated it with Prima Marketing Toronto Fruit Paradise Flowers and Steampunk Gears Finnabair Mechanicals. 

Sandra made a crackly heart birthday card, using Crackle Texture Paste with the Grime stencil, and the Faceted Heart die and added Crackle Paint Rock Candy over it. 

Zoey used the awesome set of Daniel Smith Ultimate Mixing Hand Poured Watercolor and a bit of Distress Ink Black Soot Refill to decorate the background of this tag- To add some cracks she used Ranger TEXTURE PASTE OPAQUE CRACKLE
