Clear Scraps + Imagine Crafts- Wood Grain Technique

 Hey again friends, Happy Monday!

So Clear Scraps & Imagine Crafts has paired up this week and I have 

a cool technique I created while I was playing. 

I used irRESISTible sprays and a blow dryer to create a cracked wood grain effect. 

I created this Build It Your Way Binder (wait until I share the pages inside)

and wanted to cover the fence in texture, then I began playing with the 

irRESISTible spray in COPPER and BRONZE and I coated the binder spine

with them mixing the colors, I thought it kind of reminded me of wood

 So I saturated it- I should meant ion I taped off the acrylic first. 

After saturating it, I left it 20 minutes to get a little bit of a crust on it, 

then I took a blow dryer and heated it for about 10 minutes which gave it 

a cool crackled wood affect. 

It looks like aged wood really well in person too. 

For the Clear Scraps Fence Mixers I used the Wedding Dress irRESISTible spray but I didn't

get to it with the blow dryer quick enough to make it wooden (I wish I had),

so I dried it then I inked it using StazOn inks in Emerald City and Cactus Green. 

 I wrapped flowers and stems around the fence adhering it onto the 

album cover, after adding the laces. 

 These Imagine Crafts products are so amazing even if you are not a mixed media

guru (I am definitely NOT) it's for the every day crafter too just for amazing

ideas and new techniques!

TRY the blow dryer!!!!! :)
