First time I've used crackle paste. I love the look so many of our talented artists have used on their cards. I applied the paste to stencil on plain white cs. After it dried, I decided to experiment coloring it with dry pearlescent powders using a small brush. I applied a thin layer of liquid iridescent medium over the powders so they'd adhere better. Too pale so I swiped several distress ink pads over the entire piece, softening with a paper towel to blend. It has even more of a sheen irl. I thought it coordinated well with this darker leaf print bg I made last summer.

Gorgeous....great results with the crackle and the iridescent medium. Very pretty and it goes so well with your saved leaf print (never throw anything away....haha).

Your card base and the crackle panels are both so Beautiful! Good choice to leave the image a solid light color so to not take away from the beauty beneath!

The crackle paste and what you have done with it make for a beautiful bg for the die cut leafy frond. The irisdescent stones are a wonderful embellishment.
