Clear Scraps Project Post

Hi there everyone!  Laura here to share with you today!

Looking for a great way to remember a special event,

vacation, or memory?  The Clear Scraps

XL Word Frames are amazing for creating this

type of home decor!

This is the Beach XL Word Frame of course!  Perfect for

memories of our beach vacation!

The frame comes in pieces you assemble to make it easier

to paint, stamp, ink, or whatever you'd like to do!

I painted the bottom of the flip flops with gray acrylic paint,

and then painted the tops with bright green paint.

I added a layer of glitter glue to add a little sparkle.

Next up was the actual frame part of the piece.

Both are painted with white acrylic paint, then stamped

using a wood-grain stamp and gray acrylic paint.

To get the even pattern and keep it going in the same

direction, I used some washi tape as a mask:

Then I was able to stamp and make the wood-grain pattern

go in the same direction so it looks more like real wood.

The word Beach at the top of the frame can be painted,

or inked, or you can cover it with paper like I did here.

Just trace it and cut it out.   I did ink up the edges

with some black ink because I liked the way

it framed the word since it has such a bright

white background.  Then I glued it down.

Cute chipboard added some bright fun to

finish up the frame.  You can also see the

wood-grain look frame and how it gives a little

texture too.   Also if you peek closely, you can see I

did not have a long 4×6 picture.  Easy to fix,

 I used some cute patterned paper behind a 4×4 photo in

this frame.  You can do something similar if you

don't have photos that will work lengthwise/sideways.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Stop back soon for more inspiration!
