Altered frame





Okay so what you see here is an old silver frame that holds a 5x7 picture. I am working an a Halloween party for Jens digi stamps and thought this would be a great way to show off one of the halloween stamps tha she has designed. In the first picture you can see i have started applying acrylic paint, I used Tim Holtz twilight purple ( halloween color) to start the covering up of the silver. Next I used a heat tool to blow air over the paint to help it dry I than applyed a second coat over the edging of the frame being carefull not to get it on the glass. After it dryed for a couple hours I took some crackel pain ( again Tim Holtz Rock candy ) and appyled it all over the purple and let it dry, when it drys it gives a cracked aged feel to the frame I than placed the digital image from Jens Diti stamps in the corner with glossy accents, as it drys expediantly and there you have it a cute little halloween frame ready to put your little ghosts, or other creatures in to it. God bless you all and have a lovely eveing
