A friend sent me these beautiful ATC's (Artist Trading Cards). Unfortunately the camera didn't pick up the glitter on the butterfly that was equally shiny. I love shiny. I'm a bling sorta girl. I'll have to find out how she did that crackly stuff. It really put in the wow factor. Thank you Lindy.

Beautiful! I love the colors. The right one is perfect with the cracks, and it says "grow," just perfect.

The "Crackle" look is a product called "Glossy Accents" which comes in "Crackle", "Glossy" and "Matte" finishes. I painted the petals with paint markers, then applied thick coats over the petals. When it dried, the petals were cracking apart so I applied a coat of regular glossy finish only on the petals to repair them (squirting it in underneath, so the petals wouldn't come apart.) Crackle finish dries with cracks, and I twisted the card a little to make the cracks deeper (probably what made the petals crack.) These were my first ATC creations, so I was experimenting. I was pleased with the result especially on the flower card.
