Lovers

Hi everyone!

Over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges the subject is...

'Lovers' 

  

I chose to make a Victorian style frame. I had some mount board and covered it with a texture paste through a memory box stencil. This was then painted with Americana Decoart Chalky Finish paint in Primitive.

Crackle glaze was applied and when this was dry Carbon Black Antiquing Cream was brushed over the frame before being wiped away

The picture was made by dabbing Frayed Burlap, Weathered Wood and Picket Fence Distress Paints onto the craft mat and then spritzing with water. The card was then swirled into the paint.

When dry I began to stamp some images - I chose a Flonz craft stamp from this set. I stamped it in Potting Soil Archival ink. I then began to add some text and crackle stamps around the edge of the picture to add texture.

I used a Tim Holtz bookplate and added a piece of card left over from making the main picture. I stamped the word LOVE onto it and added some swirls from  a flourish stamp

I added some lace, a rose and some die cut foliage that had been covered with Peeled Paint Distress Stain.

And here is the finished frame -

I do hope you like it!
