Another 5ababees..

So, I have been saving myself some boredom

and got my hands dirty, literally

this ink does not come out by only washing my hands

I have to use a pumice stone.

Anyway, I said before that I was not happy with the ink applicator I got last time so I had to but the foam one. It is much easier to use those.

This is my latest tags

which turned out pretty OK, I like them actually the got the vintage look I guess.

Now I know how much easier to use stamps, instead of me printing things and sticking them.

The good stamps are quit expensive

but I know myself I will be getting them soon

and yeah the big paper punches are also on my to buy list.

This is a mini tag book or " tiny Stocking Stuffer mini" as what Laura called it in her post

and from there I got the idea

Mine is not finished and with a totally different look

I wanted so badly to use this patterned paper.

I have seen some videos on Youtube showing a cheap way to get the crackle paint look, since I did not have any crackle paint so I tried it.

I did it by coating the tag first with white craft glue, somehow a thick coat and then before it dries I coated it with a layer of thick acrylic paint, then dried it with the heat gun.

This is what I got!!

It is not suppose to look like this, as what I have seen others making, because I got

the waxy- candle-y look.

I like it though.
