Good morning! Sherry here today and I have an altered frame to share with you.
I started with one of those $ frames from Michael’s.
From thin chipboard a stencil was die cut using S2-020 Spellbinders Die D-Lites Medallion Five.
Using the chipboard stencil and Studio 490 Embossing Paste, medallions were placed randomly around the bare wood frame. Once the Embossing Paste was dry, the frame was painted black. Antique Gold Rub ‘n Buff was used to accent the stencils.
The flowers, foliage and flairs were all die cut from 140 lb. watercolor paper. (Video tutorial on the flowers can be found here - - Dimensional Blossom from Watercolor Paper.) The flowers are S4-370 Blossoms Five, leaves from SS4-328 Foliage and S5-050 Rose Creations, and the flourish is from S5-119 Venetian Motifs.
The sentiment is from an older Studio 490 set, Art-Fully Said. If you don’t have the set and need it, please send Kim an email and she can special order it for you. It was stamped on watercolor paper that had been misted and splattered with Broken China and Vintage Distress Inks, then die cut and mounted with S4-161 Labels One.
Thanks for stopping by and joining me today!
