Collaged Woden Frame with Mirror
by Lis WhitingToday's project is a framed mirror. You might wonder where to get a mirror to fit into a wooden frame? Well, I used Tim Holtz MirrorCard. Yup! And it works great! Now that I've spilled the beans about my "secret element" on my project - let's back up to creating!
I wanted to do a frame - the original idea was to do something for students to take with them to college. That idea slowly morphed into the completed project you see today.
Anyway, I started out by buying a plain wooden frame. I painted the frame completely with white gesso. Then I used Moulding Paste and a flower stencil (still all white) to create a texture on the front of my frame.
I used two different spray colors to color my frame (purple and yellow). If I had it do over again I probably would have chosen a light red and yellow. The colors would have blended better where they meet on my project.
After I colored my frame, I sanded the tops of the flowers so that there would be more contrast.
I used a number of different embellishments to decorate my frame including washi tape, organza ribbon, pearls and some 3-D stickers.
Here are some close ups!
I love your idea! The colors are gorgeous, and of course the butterfly adds that "pop" element, I love butterflies!
