Altered frame with Candy

Hello everyone.

Welcome to another month full of creativity.

Today I have altered a 10 x 12 inch canvas and an old plasic frame

I had in my stash.

I have created this frame for my mum for Christmas,

I am sure she will love it.

Here is the mood board I got my inspiration from

I firstly covered the canvas with white gesso and also the frame

as it was blue I had to use a few coats to cover it.

When the canvas was dry I glued on the 3 pieces of lace using matt medium.

Then added some spray, only a light cover.

I then glued on the frame and used clamps to hold until it dried.

I waited overnight so it was really dry.

 


Add the flowers with a strong glue.
Then I added some white gesso and prills
to the edges of the flowers and leaves.

The photo measures 3 x 5 inches

I sanded around the edges then addes some

white gesso with my finger then more prills.

I cut 3 lace flowers in half then glued them under my photo.

And I raised my photo to make it pop.
