We have two projects to share today beginning with a gorgeous Victorian Frame and Easel set by Kim.
Hello Friends and Happy Valentines Day! Today I'm sharing my altered Victorian Frame & Easel. I just love this frame set, it really hearkens back to the time when photography was just starting to come into its own. The photo I chose for the center is a copy of a vintage one taken back in 1887, the name on the back of the photo was "Aunt Emma" so that is what I call this lovely lady.
I embossed all around the frame, and used Gilders Paste to give the effect of aged copper. I added some metal copper corners to add to the metallic look.
The bottom left corner of the frame has some of Gina's Feathery Flourish Pieces, which I embossed and then layered on some two toned burgundy and tan roses to complete the look.
Above is the front of the easel. I have gone over it with gesso, then used Gilders Paste in 2 different colors to give a worn metal look. I layered on some vintage laces, a metal Love embellishment in bronze, velvet ribbon, flowers and a crochet button. I have also added a gorgeous metal peacock to the side of the Love frame.
You can see more of the Feathery Flourish there, which I embossed with the same colour as the other pieces on the frame.
Above is a close up of some of the Steampunk Angel Wings from the Dressform and Wing Set on the top right, and an applique and flower from my stash.
Below is a photo of the Easel you receive in the set. You can see how I distressed it to give it a worn look. The frame just sits nicely on top of it..
I hope you like my project today and thanks so much for stopping by!

Next up is Heidi with a beautiful home decor wall art piece, one of several new products that were designed with Valentine's Day in mind, but can used anytime of year.
Hello, it's Heidi again with a little wall art from Gina's Designs. The actual kit comes with the chipboard square that I covered with Valentine papers, the corrugated board and then the letters L O V E. I used the swans from the Valentine set as the hanger at the top!
I painted the letters with a deep red paint and then left everything else natural! Adding a few bits and pieces from the Valentine Sets that Gina has along with the ever so lovely doilies!
