Here's a look at what I have created for this challenge. It's a hand-made photo frame and so suitable for our Category 2.
I have made an altered photo-frame and I have worked on it from the scratch. This was a very plain white and red photo-frame. I first added two layers of Gesso on the base and then, applied two coats of Camlin teal color on it. This helped cover the base design completely and once it was dry, I took the Prima Designer stencil and the Sakura Modelling Texture paste and mixed some drops of the Distress Stain -Spiced Marmalade to it and applied it all over the sides of my frame to create the damask design on my frame.
I think it gives a beautiful, rich look to the frame and by adding the color to the texture paste there is a small hint of orange showing in the stenciled design! The flowers on my frame are all handmade and they are made by using the Distress Re-inker Spiced Marmalade and water added to a Mini Mister and sprayed directly on paper! Does'nt it give a vibrant look :)
The corners and the golden leaves on the frame are all made with die-cuts covered with UTEE and heat-embossing it.
My project consists of all the letters :L- Layers, Leaves
P- Pearls, Pollens, Paints, Punches, Prima stencil.
T -Texture Paste, Teal color.
U- Gold Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE)
C - Cardstock to make the flowers, Corners, Cheery Lynn dies.
I hope you all like my project! Do leave me your comments or any queries regarding any of the products used here and I will get back to you as soon as possible :)
I hope you all can join us in this month-long celebration in the fun challenges here. As, we have already told, there are loads of prizes to be won and of course loads of inspiration coming up from my other talented team member's as well so do play along our month-long challenge!
