Today is my turn to share a project for Country View Crafts on the current challenge theme - Be Inspired by Bottles. If you missed my first project you can see it here.
For this one I used a little burlap panel that I had used and didn't like. I removed all the burlap to reveal the wooden structure underneath... this is small just 9cm x 7cm.
As I had removed all the staples the surface was a bit rough so I smoothly added some texture paste..
Once dry I painted it all with gesso and added tissue tape..
At this point I also added a little string on the back to hang it...
I felt my tissue tape was a bit bold so I dry brushed gesso to knock it back a little..
I cut a little piece of patterned paper to fit in the centre and added vintage photo ink around the edges of this and the frame itself..
I took one of Tim Holtz glass vials (the tiny one) and added some flowers - they are tiny too, about 8mm diameter. Both were secured with glossy accents.
Thanks for stopping by..
See you next time
Nikki
