That means there’s 4 chances to win amazing prizes this week!
Now for my project!
For my project (wall hanging) I used one page from the 8×8 Decorative Design Chipboard Album from Want2Scrap as the base. It was covered with Graphic 45 Curtain Call paper using matte multi-medium and the excess was sanded off. Vintage Photo Distress Ink was used to sponge all the edges.
The frame in the background (covering the Clara Bow ad), was made by die cutting printer’s chipboard with Spellbinders™ Labels Four. Printer’s chipboard is thin cardboard that I purchase at my local office supply store.
To accent the metal flowers, I made some smaller ones with Graphic 45 Flowers and small white corsage flowers, that were dipped in melted UTEE (Faux Porcelain Flowers). The floral accents pieces are Chipboard Embellishment Style A from Want2Scrap, that were painted with Peeled Paint Distress Stain and then covered with Peeled Paint Distress Stickles.
For trim on the shelf (which is made from hobby wood trim, painted and sanded, and highlighted with Vintage Photo) I added a Maya Road mini spool and a mini bottle.
