New Ranger Crackle Paint Colors, By Popular Demand
July 24th, 2008
Ranger’s crackle paint was an industry first, and now they’ve come out with four new colors. Usually in order to get the crackle effect with acrylics you have to apply a crackling medium. This formula enables you to achieve that look with no compromise, in a single application. Try applying it to chipboard, Tim Holtz’s Grungeboard, and maybe even some heavy duty card-stocks.
My first objection was, but only scrapbookers who are into other crafting with paints will have brushes! Well, set your worries aside because the paint brush is in the lid, a brilliant rubber cement style applicator! I think this is a great way to add a rustic masculine touch to some layouts.
The thicker you apply the paint the wider the cracks will be as shown in this card.
And, thinner applications have fine lines as in the tree in this layout. Don’t dry with a heat gun or it will bubble on you!

I have been wanting to add paint into my scrapping and I just have not found the right way. Maybe ill try this crackle on chipboard. Once i get the deep cutting blade this could be a really cool thing to have.

Those look cute! I love the pictures frame one with the tree. Not sure how much I’d use the paints, but of course I’m tempted
