Autumn Leaves

I had acquired some new stamps from Different Colors at Ally Pally and was desperate to use them (lol) ... they worked so well with the theme for this week's tag
I gently dismantled an empty ribbon reel and covered the back, the inside and the outside with JillibeanSoup patterned paper. For the crackle I used Fresco chalk and crackle paint. The images are stamped, cut out, coloured with colouring pencils and covered with Diamond Glaze. You might see some cracks in the glaze. I am not sure how it happened, maybe the glaze was a bit too old but when I moved the images, the cracks appeared .... thank you so much for your lovely comments last week, have an enjoyable evening, Petra.
