Good Morning All
My older followers will remember when John Next Door and I used to do challenges on Sundays, called Sunday Mojo. We would take it in turns to give each other some stuff and we had to make something with them and I think this frame was one that John made, he left it with me when he went back to UK.
The link to what I did to my frame is HERE.
Anyway, I found this one that John had made. When he packed up to return to UK he left few bits and bobs behind with me. I found this and thought I would have a go at altering it.
Hope you dont mind John.!!!
He doesn't, as I checked with him.
So I stripped it of the pic, John had painted the frame in shabby pink and cream so that looked OK.
I just added some heat embossing of a glitter powder and then sprayed it with Mica powder in water then heat dried it.
I wanted to make it into something I could put pics of the kids in so I made an acetate pocket so that I can change the photo when I want to.
The pic I put in is one of Noah with Aurora which I thought suited the shabby look of this perfectly as it is half in shadow.
The doilies are ones I have crocheted myself.
Quite pleased with this but not as shabby chic as I would like.
This technique does not come naturally to me.
Please let me know what you think.
Ps. I had a fab time at Ally Pally, met some wonderful people and made some new friends.
I shall add some pics next week when I get home and can upload pics from my camera.
Having lots of baby and Hollie cuddles this week.
