In the frame by Astrid

Hello lovely Shimmerz friends, it's Astrid here today sharing a little project with you.

I have a friend who is going through a hard time, so this is a little gift for her.
These are the products I used:

Past- Eez: Tree Hugger

AcriTonez: Peas be Mine

Coloringz: Don't Be Suede

Schimmeringz: Concrete

Vibez: Don't Rain on My Parade

All available in the Store of course

I started with the frame. On a bit of mount board I dabbed some of the Paste_Eez with my finger to created texture. While still wet I dropped in some Ancient Silver embossing powder and some little artstones and then dried with my heat gun.

Next I went to work with my chosen sprays until it looked like this:

Sadly the photo does not show how the bright turquoise paste turns into a beautiful patina with the help of the sprays..

For the inside panel I took a piece of scrapbook paper, covered it with clear gesso and when that had dried some clear crackle glaze. Once the cracks had appeared I scraped on a thin layer of the Acritonez paint just here and there with a little palette knife and then added some of the same spray lightly around the edges, dabbing any excess with some kitchen roll.

I matted the central panel on some white card for contrast, adhered it to the background and that was pretty much it.

Thanks for your visit and  if you order something from the store, just mention my name in your order and you will get a free gift, - how cool is that?
