framed art...
Good morning all. I am really excited to share with you today a project that I have made with one of the February new release sets, my favorite this month, "You Will Find Refuge" . I have to say I am really very proud of this one. Anyone that follows my blog , knows that I have a major issue with three dimensional projects, I almost never do them because they never, ever come out the way I pictured them in my head. But one thing I can do is framed art. I love doing them as gifts. I started with a really cheap black frame that I picked up on clearance. Usually I sand the frame and then paint it. But today because I wanted a very distressed look so I didn't, the paint doesn't stick as well if you don't sand first. I painted the frame with a thin coat of Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint in antique linen. When the paint was dry and crackled I lightly sanded the frame to distress it. I then ran a Tim Holtz Distress pad...
