An Altered Frame


Hello friends,

Today i am sharing an Altered Frame as an inspiration for the current Challenge No 2 # Shabby is Chic at DCAM Challenges.Here is how it looks -



For the base i started with a frame from an old forgotten wedding invitation lying in my stash .I painted it with gesso mixed with the soon to be launched Crushed Strawberry Mist from Die Cuts & More for that shabby look. I had fun layering the images from the gorgeous Fairy Rhyme papers .Aren't these papers just adorable ?




When i cut them i decided to include the ballerina and the Bird cage with the flourishes around them. It did take some effort and careful fussy cutting but the effort was totally worth it ! Got to say the images on paper look just as beautiful as in pieces !



Here's a closeup on the big chrysanthemum bloom which is made from the Memory Box Lovely asters die,it gives a set of 3 layered flowers and leaves in one go ,with amazingly delicate petals ! The Bloom has been coloured with Lindy's Autumn Magicals 'Autumn Maple Crimson ' -The tiny flourishes are from the Cheery Lynn fanciful flourish coloured with Peeled Paint distress ink .




Added the silver diamante in the center for a lovely accent .The shaded small lavender roses are from the MFT Royal Rose die coloured with Spun Sugar distress ink .Instead of just rolling them tightly , i have scrunched and loosely rolled them for the shabby look . The Mulberry roses and the other embellies are from my stash .I have placed the Chrysanthemum on a a lacy rosette and have added some white netting for detail.




Thanks for Passing by ,Would love to hear from you ! 
Have a lovely day ahead !
