Having Fun With Shipping Tags No.4

Hi everyone!

So, those that have watched my videos for a while know that I have a love/hate relationship with Crackle Medium and this one was no different! When I applied the top coat after the crackle medium I painted it on way too thick in areas and it didn't crack *sigh*. Oh well, I will learn one day - maybe!
