Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello! It's Jennifer and I'm back to share another great Clear Scraps product!  The new Desktop Wood Frames have been a huge hit and they make for wonderful gifts!  Today, I'm sharing the Friends Desktop Wood Frame which I  will share some techniques I  used.  

I  began by coloring the word frame and larger base piece with Inka-Gold in Pewter. It is helpful to apply in a circular motion with a foam applicator after spritzing the surface of the ink with water.  Also, the more you apply the ink the shinier your end result will be.

I  set those pieces aside and used my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive to cover my frame and small base piece with patterned paper.  I  cut away any excess paper with scissors as well as used an x-acto knife and healing mat.  I  then used a sanding tool to smooth the edges as well as added Inka-Gold to the edges of the wood pieces. 

Here is a close up of the end effect of the inking! I  love the way it looks…you can also use Inka-Gold on our chipboard!  

To assemble my project, I  affixed the cut out frame to my photo and then trimmed as needed.  The cut out can be attached to the word frame.  I    then adhered the two base pieces together followed by inserting the frame into the slots.  For all, I  again used my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive.  

Last, I    added some paper flowers and embellishments from the collection I  used to accent.
