I had 2 really sad coasters in my living room so I decided to give them a makeover with some vintage papers I forgot I had, TH inks, which I then splashed with water to make them look older and La Blanche stamps - I love these stamps real quality! Sentiment stamps from Die'sire. I then sealed them with mod podge and rock candy - That's it all done......I hope I have managed to capture the crackle effect
Before
and after
Hope you like them just as much as I do.
Hugz and love always
