I have been selling a fair bit of this blank so thought it was worth a turn. Came up beautifully with a hint of pink shimmer thrown in to the mix. Its on a retro kit and although the bog oak looks very dark in the pictures is actually rather dark in real life too :funny:
I like to mix it up a bit.. so I thought I would try some serious texturing using Powertex
This might get me drummed out of the club..
Lol Kevin :banana:
