Altered Ornamental Frame


Hola crafty peeps,

Today I am here with yet another mixed media alteration for you all.
I received a beautiful MDF ornamental frame in my Prika DT kit last month and have been wanting to alter it since. So here it is finally done!



A lot of trying and testing happened on this cute little frame before I finally settled with these gorgeous colors. Since it was a simple MDF cutout, I used prima moulds to add ornamental dimension to it. I used IMMIX crackle texture paste for the amazing background layer on it. 


I covered everything up in black gesso and then experimented with metallic colors from prima. I finally settled with dark velvet, gold rush and hints of fuchsia pink. I topped it all with some prima waxes in the colors mystic turquoise and rose gold.



On the right hand-side I added an old metal frame from my stash and some clay embellishments. I then decorated it with some rose buds and a pearl string.




While on the left hand-side, I added some metal leaf embellishments (covered in black gesso and topped with metallique waxes), rose flowers, buds and leaves.





Finally, I added some art stones colored in gold metallic color along with a small quote to bring it all together.


Making this shabby frame was too much fun for me as I got to experiment a lot. If you are inspired create something of your own do tag me in the pictures and share your love.

Until next time
XOXO

JK
