Fantastically Spiffing!

Well hello folks! Thankyou once again for stopping by. Today's post was written a couple of weeks ago and scheduled to post on the recipients birthday.


This fantastically spiffing topper is from the Chronology range by Docrafts and was gifted to me in a swap just after Christmas. I combined the topper with papers from my stash and gently distressed the edges of both papers and topper with distress ink.


Both the book hinge flourish and cog greyboard lasercuts are by That Craft Place and I firstly painted these with black gesso and dried. I then did the PVA glue crackle technique using DecoArt Silver metallic paint as my final coat. This was my first time trying this technique using just regular PVA and I love it!

I've linked to Kelly Donovan's video below:


As you can see, this technique gives wonderful results!




Thanks again and hope to see you back soon!
