I used theScoreBoards Sizzix #657724 Candy Cup Die to create a miniature planter for baby succulents. Yes, they're real plants! With the base, these plantersare about three inches tall. They're tiny! At the time, I didn't know that succulents were becoming a trend. I just knew that I loved the Candy Cup die! I made several of these miniature planters and gave them to friends. They were a hit!
These dies are both included in the sale. So have fun! (wink!)
Where can I find how to do this painted effect? LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Glad you liked the crackle effect. To get this look I used DecoArt Crackle Glaze and filled in the cracks with some DecoArt Antiquing cream. This stuff is so easy to use. I just applied a thick later, and it crackles as it hardens. (Make sure it's dried thoroughly!) It's hard to find where I live, so I order it from JoAnn's online. Watch for sales! :)

And there's more information about the Antiquing creams here. I used the Patina Green color for this project. But they are all lovely.

I hope this helps.
Have a wonderful day!
