Howdy,
It's Sandy Diller here with you today – I am so thrilled to be joining the Clear Scraps Design Team. I am sharing my first post where I am also celebrating my home state of Arizona. I love the desert and all the sunshine that we have here – so why not show it?
In my spare time I like to color, it's fun and relaxing. I have ended up with a large collection of colored images so all I need to do is find the right ones and add them to my frame. I love to use colored pencils, which is what I've done here. For the nail heads around the frame I simply removed the prongs from some brads and glued them to the frame.
I began by using the Small Rectangles Printer Tray Frame from Clear Scraps.
I wanted my panels to be extra deep so I stacked all three pieces up and glued them together. Once glue was dry I added a coat of gesso as a base to insure that my paint color would be true.
I used a great copper color on the frame – Arizona is known for copper so I thought it was the perfect color. After the paint was dry I began adding my panels. I used the 4×6 Sunrise Stencil from Clear Scraps to depict the sunshine.
After filling in some of the panels with my colored images I added stickers to finish telling the story. I have one more thing to add and that is the acrylic panel to cover the entire thing. I wanted to take the photos before adding the panel to avoid the glare. The nail heads are placed on the frame temporarily so I will pop them off, add the acrylic and replace the nail heads.
I will remove the protective coating on both sides of the acrylic before placing it on my frame.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
See you soon,
S@ndy
