Crackly Good Luck

Can you see my smudge under the shamrock? I had the card all done and it looked flat, so I decided to paint the clover with that new paint from Tim Holtz and when it didn't look crackly enough, I added another layer of paint. And made a mini mess. And it still didn't crackle enough for my tastes.

Layer a piece of printed paper over a plain card. Add a plain chunk of card stock to the middle.Ink all the edges of all your layers too.Make a word or words with your Quikutz, Sizzix or other die cut letters (maybe stickers would look good too). Die cut the shamrock and ink before putting on card (I do a lot backasswards in general.) This was an easy way to use up scraps.
