Today is my first day sharing with you as a design team member for the Kraaft Shaak. It is my honor and privilege to be chosen for this amazing team. After you read this post, I hope you will consider following Heather and all the designers. They will blow you away. Please join our friendly Kraafters Kommunity on google plus too. It is a safe and friendly environment for sharing art and crafting with friends. Anyway on to the project.
I received this wonderful mixed media kit which Heather sells at the Kraaft Shaak and have been having a ton of fun playing with it. I can't imagine all the things I can make with what's inside the box. If you'd like to preview a box I have a video here. So let's get started, shall we?
My first project is this cute easel blackboard/corkboard. I had a good time applying all of the products to this. First I had to mask off the cork and blackboard.
Then I painted it with a coat of gesso. After the second coat of gesso, I applied the chalkboard paint in a golden green. Then came the crackle paste which takes about five hours to dry.
Didn't this really turn out cute? The little bird is from the dollar store. He looks so comfy sitting atop this antiqued easel.
The products used can be found at the Kraaft Shaak. Please visit and tell Heather I sent you. Oh yes, don't forget to sign up for the news letter. That is where you find out about coupons.

Then I painted it with a coat of gesso. After the second coat of gesso, I applied the chalkboard paint in a golden green. Then came the crackle paste which takes about five hours to dry.
Just be prepared to be patient. Once dry I applied some glazing medium, taupe and cobalt green.
After those were dry I used some archival ink's in the colors of watering can and coneflower to accentuate the crackle. Everything is then coated with matte gel to seal in the crackle coat.
I then created the flowers and embellishments. If you'd like to know how to make those I have a video here.
For the leaves and vines I cut watercolor paper I had painted with Magicals using a die. The florals are applied with heavy gel medium. I added Color Bloom spray ink in Tea-stain, Soft Teal and Summer Sky to the flowers for some shimmer. The flowers are on 120 lb watercolor paper.
