Crackle effects

At the moment I have a thing about adding texture to my scrapping and card making.

There are lots of crackle effect mediums on the market and I have three of them, so decided to do a comparison.

For this one I used PaperArtsy Crackle Glaze:

 

For this one I used Crackle Accents:

 

 

For this one I used Distress Crackle Paint in antique linen:

The left hand tag was painted and left to dry. I'd read that if you heat it you get bigger cracks, I tried this with the right hnad tag and there are bigger cracks.  I like the crazed pottery type effect you get with the distress crackle paint.

Here are all the samples side by side:

I shall keep these tags for reference, so I can check out which effect will suit my project best.

 

Thanks for looking.  Do have a play with your stash and see what you can make.
