Project Of The Month - May

This will be the last 'Sugar Sugar' project as you currently know it, we will be having a break in June and may return renewed and revitalised in July if we can make the changes that we are hoping to.

Unfortunately we will not be choosing a winner of last months challenge, until a decision is made on the future of the challenges. We would, however, like to thank everyone who entered the Easter challenge and if the planned changes go ahead, we will select one of the entrants to join us as guest Sweetie.

Project of the Month - March

March - Cracked Glass Technique - By Judy

You will need, a stamped and coloured Sugar Nellie image, an inkpad suitable for embossing (such as Versamark) and Ultra Thick Clear Embossing Powder.

1.Stamp and colour image as usual.

2.Cover image with Versamark ink or equivalent, then cover with Ultra Thick Clear Embossing powder (normal clear embossing powder will work just as well)
3.Heat to melt. Add second coat of powder while still hot.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have smooth coverage

4.Put in freezer until cold.
5.Crack image as desired! (Try doing it in different directions)
(Optional: daub dark brown ink into the cracks for a vintage look!)

Then, all you have to do is apply to a card or other craft project!
