Hi there, I'm very late with this post!
The new challenge has started at Altered Eclectics and there are some wonderful projects to inspire you!
My project has a little story - I forgot my daughter in laws Mum's birthday, she was 75. I have never missed her birthday and she has always looked forward to receiving my card so when I found out I was mortified and decided it was a bit of a poor do to just send her a card! She likes pretty things and appreciates anything delicate so I set about making her a photo frame - this is what I made:
I used a basic frame from Tesco as my base and covered it with some embossed white gaffer tape which I then painted with some mother of pearl paint. I die cut the corners, flowers and butterflies and then covered them with glue and glitter. The tiny flowers and butterflies were punched out then given the same treatment.
I continued the tiny flowers and butterflies down the sides to give it a pretty finish. When I use glitter like that I always give it a good dose of clear glaze to set it. I finished off the flowers and butterflies with pearls in various colours and added some pretty paper inside, hey voila all done!
Now I did send her a card as well and shee loved them both but I believe the frame now has a nice picture of her little dog in - and she has hinted that she could do with another!
I hope you like my frame and I'd love to see you over at Altered Eclectics for the latest challenge - so what are you waiting for!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!
Fabulous make love how it has turned out.
