Until a Moment Becomes a Memory

This weekend, I decided to try to get caught up with some scrapping and enter a few great challenges along the way.  I really love adding mixed media to my layouts and have found that adding gorgeous chippies gives me a great place to do some experimenting with different mediums. 

 After I painted this piece of chipboard, I added some details with a white Posca pen and added a thick layer of Dusty Attic Clear Crack Varnish over the top.  You can see the beautiful deep cracks it created.

 I will have a few more projects to share with you through the week that I finished up this weekend.  Have a creative week!
