Shabby-chic Frame

Hi crafty friends, Suzna here with a fun mini home decor project with the amazing Dusty attic ornate frame chipboard. I had so much fun creating up with some new way of alteration and sharing with you today including a tutorial.. 
 So here's a series of pictures I took, how I made this frame... 

First use mode podge for stronger
1. Recycling tape base, for 3D effect / just like shadow box frame



2. Use the circle part of Dusty attic chipboard as back cover 
3. Apply one to two coats of Gesso
 4. For 3D effect on frame design use small beads and Ranger glossy accent 
5. Cover the whole part with Gesso

 6. Coloring on frame and any embellishments you wish to add

Coloring: Modeling paste with mica powders ( Prima: lipstick, gold, iridescent gold and Color-art: fire opal & Guatemalan green)

Here is some close ups 




Thanks for dropping by today to view my mini frame and tutorial.
 I hope you'll start following to see my projects. Enjoy the rest of your week!
