Hello Friends, I hope you’re ready for some Crafty Inspiration. Today I have something I hope you think it’s as special as I do. I had some fun with this Christmas Decor Frame. I have used a _This_is_Us_Desktop_Frame. And have added Clear_Scraps 3_Nordic_Snowflake_ and a Roman_Cross Chipboard Embellishments. Clear_Scraps has many chipboard embellishments shapes , and styles for any season or special day.
I have used paints and paper. Added a cardstock bow with a crystal ice style bow charm dangle.
I first painted the Frame with my paints.
I used a black metallic paint that reads as a beautiful wood stain with some subtle sparkle and shine to it. I will paint the cross and snowflakes different colors and then will paints some glue for the sparkly snowflake
I am saving the chipboard from the snowflakes and cross for popping up some of my embellishments and the frame. Now I will paint the frame and all of the embellishments.
I adhered a piece of cardstock for my background, before adhering the frame.
I measured the cardstock piece to fit the frame backing area. then I will add the pieces to pop out the frame a bit.
Now I will adhere the frame to the main part of the frame. Then I will start adding the embellishments. I really think the bow and snowflake to the frame came out like a beautiful Christmas Collage Art piece.
It took me a bit to play around with pieces and arrange them where I wanted.
I also added some cardstock ephemera from the paper I used for my background.
The artificial snowflake is applied and when dry I use my hot glue gun and start adding all of my other embellishments as well.
I really love how this turned out. I raided my stash for some bling and nostalgia. The brick remind me of my grandfather. I keep a stash of trinkets to add to my projects.
I hope you are inspired to try some mixed media for your next project. Clear_Scraps store has many Decor DIY. Wall and Desk. Cards and file boxes: what will you make next.
Have a Happy Crafty Day and Happy Holidays.
