Thickness of application can affect the outcome. Having the brush in the lid with the Picket Fence Distress Crackle Paint (the top one) makes clean up mess-free.
I prefer the look of the Viva (second from top) for small cracks on small surfaces (think thin picture frames, tiny tags, and so forth).
Applied the Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint in there just to see what it looked like next to the others. I like them all; I use them all. What will they think of next.

Golly I love {visiting!} Manhattan.
Same materials as this one, and another favorite Wordsworth stamp. 7gypsies frame around idea-ology knob is from the stash. Their brass keys are still available thankfully.

I used Doodlebug's Hip Hip Hooray collection and solid orange Divine Twine. Design is styled after an envelope one typically receives cash in when inside a bank.
