Painted Leather Cuff Bracelet - Clearsnap

Hi! I'm sharing a painted leather cuff bracelet that I altered for Clearsnap today. I used a Rollagraph to add a print to the cuff, which is so fun to stamp with if you haven't tried it. Next, I burned the stamped design to add texture, but also some edges that would help me paint inside the lines. Finally, I randomly applied ColorBox Color Eclipse Mixed Media Ink to the cuff until the segments were all colored. I had so much fun creating this wearable piece of art!

Step 1. Insert the Crackle Background Jumbo Design Wheel into a Jumbo Rollagraph Handle. Apply Wicked Black Archival Dye Ink to the Design Wheel. Roll the inked wheel along a leather cuff bracelet.

Step 2. Use a Walnut Hollow HotMarks (or similar) heat tool to trace the stamped design, burning the pattern into the leather.

Step 3. Use a paintbrush to add ColorBox® Color Eclipse to the shaped segments on the leather cuff bracelet.

Step 4 (Optional). Apply ColorBox® Color Eclipse Sealant to the bracelet to protect and seal the design. Let dry for at least 3 hours. I did not apply sealant to the cuff. I think it will look even better with some natural distressing due to wear.
