1912 Correspondence and Photo

Can you guess where I found this frame?  Yep, a thrift store.  I painted the green frame black and let it dry.  Then it was Mod Podge time!  I applied Mod Podge to random areas on the frame and then placed a page from an early 1900’s dictionary on top of the Mod Podge.  Let this dry completely and then sand off the excess paper.


Here’s how I started the frame and hanging cardboard.

I decided to leave off the moon…I liked it better with soft Prima goodness!

I bought this 6” x 6” wooden frame at the Dollar Store and thought since I was in an altered state of mind, I’d change it from the original lavender.  I painted it Antique White and let it dry.    I took a sheer sheet of paper that comes between sheets of acetate (similar to tissue paper) and misted it with two shades of glimmer mist, let that dry and then stamped some script.  I applied Mod Podge to the front and sides and then placed the stamped paper over the frame.  Press the paper down so it’s even all over and let dry   The “Precious” and #37 stamp are Scroll’s Work.  The papers and diecuts are My Mind’s Eye.  Brown ribbon is May Arts.  I recycled cardboard for the center and bottom piece.  I used the Distrezz-It All on the bottom piece.

Tabitha and “y Girl are new stamps by Scroll’s work (Plate #73).  She just happens to be on sale right now for $3.56 (Reg. $4.75).  My design team stamps came in the mail and they’re all so neat!  There’s steampunk, Alice and children stamps.  I ordered full plates (a full sheet of red rubber stamps that you’ll cut out yourself.)  I was in the mood for a bit of mixed media today.  The frame was a thrift store find.  I painted it red, let it dry and then painted it black..a little sanding and it was ready for some script.  I applied Mod Podge to areas of the frame, let it dry and then sanded the loose paper off.  The tape measure and tag are  Tim Holtz.
