CHRISTMAS FRAME

WOW !! 

Been a while since I've blogged

had a sabbatical from regular scrapping 

 I created this Christmas Frame from

the Victorian Christmas paperpack

available from Meg's Garden 

Remove glass & paint a Kaiser 4 photo frame in gesso then 2 coats of cream paint,

then using texture paste create a rough surface & apply another coat of cream paint.

Spray lace lightly with walnut ink & glued around the frame adding string of small pearls.   

When dry rub frame, lace & pearls metallic paint in gold & bronze.

Cut my chosen pictures from the ephemera sheet, mounted them on

cream, kraft, patterned paper & cream… using DS tape & 3D tape.

 all edges are stressed & inked in walnut.

 

Paint angel wings with gesso & cream, tip edges in gold 

Draw feather outlines with bronze pen

Paint all metal embellishments lightly with a gesso wash

When dry tip with gold & bronze paint 

 Glue chosen metal trims & flowers onto the angel wings, adhere to frame

Combine all embellishments & flowers to into place in lower left corner.

Cut out ‘NOEL’ title & 3D to the frame.

 Finish frame with a little sparkle with topaz gems …   

 Thanks for calling by 

Happy scrapping 

Hugz to all
