Mixed media walldecorater frame-unleasing those ohh-so-fond-of memories !!

Hello crafters ! Am back again with a mini post for you today.I believe you guys were having an awesom gala time with so-very festive mood of  the Durga Puja/Dusshera as well as Shalini's awesome candy of our blog anniversary !!
Our dear DT Riti have challenged us with an awesome challenge " Cheers To New Beginnings ” and our so apt product of the month being Graphic 45 Papers & Distress Crackle Paints who would think of missing a chance to join in the fun-challenge !!

So,I am here with a mini fun tutorial for you using this so-fun-to-work-with products!
Yes you hear it right! A mixed media walldecorater frame to uphold the classic old memories,using a few old photo clips.

This time,the junky lady recycled an old light plywood plane,which I collected it sometime back from my storeroom(it was a frame for some old scrambles and puzzles)and a jute mat for the base support.

Then comes the real magic--a good amount of layering on this plywood skeleton as follows:
Step1- An uneven coating of liquitex modeling paste with a tint of green acrylic to give it an uneven brick-kind historic look.
Step2- A thin coating of gesso
Step3- Finally higlighting random areas and creating more depths using distress stain(vintage photo) and my Little Lindy-Sweet Treats(Cotton Candy Pink: Starbust spray,Dark Chocolate Truffle: Starbust  stain,Sunset Pink: Glitz Spritz).
Step4-Dry it with a heat gun.

So as we are done with the base of our project and keep it aside. Now moving on to the embellies making.
As I intended to give my project a garden look, so first thought which came to my mind was I need to have a fence for my garden. So for making it I used a medium thick coating of distress crackled paint on the leftover soft plys from the puzzle board with a touch of the Dark Chocolate Truffle: Starbust stain.

 

Here,we are done with the fencw and for some more embellies I used the lovely fuzzy cut out of the G45 Secret garden florals. I used the paper pad for the clock face too..Ohh I so very love this lovely sheets!!

So dats it .With a little sprinkle magic of pixie dust all over your work...you are done,ain't it quite simple !!
