I brushed heavyweight watercolour paper with water then sprinkled embossing powder over it - my powder is a very old one called Wild Tiger which is a blend of orange, brown and red. After heating, I didn't get the crackle finish that the people at WOW got, instead I got a matte, slightly rough surface that, as you can see, die cut beautifully to give a really textured finish to my hearts.
To keep it as CAS as possible I simply attached it to a die cut stitched square then stamped the single word Love into the largest heart.
I am sharing this with:
AAA Cards - up to one third + optional hearts (have you any idea how much you need to exercise your rusty brain cells to calculate the length of side of a square to make sure it is one third the area of a larger square? And I used to teach maths and physics! *sigh*)

Not see this technique before very interesting.
Your post sounded so intriguing just had to come and read about it. Must admit I am always disappointed with my result with crackle paint.
Love the results you got. Hugs Mrs A.
