I decided to make a frame for my haging - I used Foil Tape and embossing folders - wiped over with black gesso

I embossed the metal for the top and bottom pieces in my bigshot using an embossing folder. The side pieces were created by adding grungeboard letters covering with foil and embossing round them before adding a bit of a pettern with my Ten Second Studio tools. I then added my colour with alcohol inks and rubbed some of it off. The poem I found on the internet - it was anonymous. I've made a few of these for some of my crafting friends for little gifts for Christmastime

This is the frame I altered yesterday whilst one of my crafting buddies visited to play. I used metal tape, ten second studio tools and alcohol inks to complete it

My friend came to play yesterday this is what we got up too. I painted my frame with black Gesso and then using texture paste I created my corners which I stamped into with a scroll stamp













When the paste was dry I put on another coat of black Gesso










When that was dry I covered the raised areas with Decopatch glue and dipped it into my box of gold leaf flakes












When it was dry I used a nylon pan scrub to brush off the excess. I fiinshed off with a touch of gold rubnbuff.

We both did a frame each and had a whale of a time.

For this frame I first put on a coat of Gesso after sanding it down. I then put on a coat of gold acrylic and before it was dry put on my coat of red crackle paint. It certainly has made a great crackled finish
