Decorated photo frame

Ello :)

I'm back...yippeee! Mr mojo hasn't been playing lately, so i ordered a loadof flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, and found him in the box with them! Omg, i see why everyone loves these flowers...they're stunning!

This is the photo frame i wrote about a couple of weeks ago. My new flowers were just perfect to finish it :)

The frame is from Matalan, covered with a mixture of torn up tissues and white paint to create the texture. Then it is inked with walnut stain distress ink, glittered with star dust stickles, and glitz it gold glitter glue, and the whole thing is painted with rock candy crackle paint. Then i inked some flowers with walnut stain, and finished with pearls.

I'm gonna give it to mum for her birthday :)

Trying to show the texture. The glue's still wet haha


I'm entering it in the Belli Challenge - Alter it, and Sir Stampalot - lazy hazy days of summer

I'll be back in a minute with another card :)
