A different photo frame for this summer

Hi everyone! 

Myry here again and today I'm gonna show you how I altered this helm to use it as a photo frame.

I already had my rudder ready (I glued scrap paper to the faces and painted the edges).

So I chose this "Vitamin Sea" as the main chipboard. I love the phrase (so funny!) and the marine elements.

I also used some elements from "Doodles Set 1". I recommend having some chipboard of this style because these are very versatile.

I painted the main chipboard with a color that stands out.

And before painting the rest of the chipboards, I put all the elements in their exact place: moss and pressed sisal as base, I alternated small chipboards with other small embellishments, and the flowers and the photo on top.

Once I was satisfied with where each element will go, I painted the chipboards with another color.

Now's the time to glue each item on their place!

To finish I used a little white liquid paint to give "drops" effect.

And that's it! A summery altered project!

Happy Saturday to all of our Gyspy Soul Laser Cuts Fans!!! Pam here today to share with you a fun and easy Seasons of Joy Christmas Scissors Wall Décor to add to your holiday decoration this year or to gift to a special person on your holiday list!

Begin by painting Scissors Wall Décor with black paint, dry. Repeat with Weathered Wood; dry and lastly with Crackle Paste to achieve the crackle look. Next you will give a wash of the yellow and red paint; drying between coats.
