Vintage

Hi Everyone,

 I have something a little different for you today.  You know how much I love the  Make It Crafty chipboard but seriously have you seen the new chipboard Frames??? Let me tell you they are wicked.  I have used a circular frame, fits together really quickly and then the fun bit begins.  This is what I created.


 
I coated the chipboard first in Gesso, it's a bit thicker than acrylic paint.  The chipboard bird, birdcage and flowers have all been painted in gesso and once dried I applied some Tim Holtz Picket Fence to give it that crackle vintage feel.  This was also applied to the edges of my image and the pearls, and wherever else I fancied.  Isn't that birdie cage just beautiful.



And here's a close up of some of the make it crafty flowers.


Do you remember the Heart Dies from Marianne Designs, bet you do, a few of me blamed me for your purchases.  Well naughty me I've used it again.  This time I have nested the small one on top of the larger one.  The little charm is also a new release from Marianne Design. 

 


And to save you scrolling back to the top, here's the whole vintage frame.
