Altering
the Game Board:
(1) Lightly sand off
protective coating on game board.
(2) Cut squares from patterned
paper to cover black squares.
(3) With double-stick tape place tape
in place. Note: do not use repositionable tape, as the
crackle medium will lift the paper up.
(4) Cover board with rub-ons.
Between layers of rub-ons spray a light coat of workable
fixative. Be sure not to spray too much, as it will
cause the rub-ons to lift off.
(5) Cover
patterned paper with Crackle Accents. Be sure to start
the flow of the Crackle Accents on scrap paper. Outline
the square and then fill in.
(6) After Crackle Accents has completely
dried (overnight is best), dab on Espresso paint over
cracks, then wipe off excess paint, so that the cracks
fill with the paint and it pops.
Altering
the Game Pieces:
(7) Fill black and white game pieces with
found items and other embellishments.
(8) Fill black pieces with Matte Accents,
following steps for use of Accents in step 5.
(9) Fill
white pieces with Sepia Accents, following the steps
for use of Accents in step 5.
