This weekend has taught me one thing (well, 2 things but the same actually) -

If Tim Holtz himself offered me his crackle paint and distress embossing powder in every color they make I'd give them back to him and say "no thanks." Pffffffftttt.

[Monica]

Lolz! I like the crackle paint but I've never been able to get the EP to work worth a darn.

mmmmm........I have almost every color of distress embossing powder and I love it! Is there something specific you're having trouble with? As for the paint, I have a couple of colors, but I find it thick and messy and just use crackle medium when I want crackle.

Yay!!!

Once I learned the tricks to using the EP I haven't had any problems either. Are you waiting til they cool to rub off the powder? That was my biggest problem at the beginning.

The first time I used the stuff I didn't wait, but I have after that. My biggest problem is knowing when it's actually melted, as I can't see a change in the powder. Sad thing is... I have like 10 jars of the stuff since I got it in a really good sale. Maybe I'll get ambitious and try to use it again.

By the way..... everyone's ATCS are so cool.... you're gonna be sorry if you opted not to play!

I can't tell when it's changed. Waiting for it to cool is no problem - all weekend I've either been waiting for paint or glue to dry, so powder is a snap. I just can't tell when it's done, and then after it's cool most of it rubs off and only a little stays behind. It seems to be worse with the brown and green. The black works fine.
