JustRite Papercrafts & Faber-Castell Mixed Media Blog Hop – Day 1

WRBF-3767-2012
Hi there blog friends!  Today I’m participating in a blog hop so I actually sat down and altered an item — it was a fun and welcome break from making a card :-)  Today
JustRite Papercrafts and Faber Castell join teams to show off some splendid mixed media projects – stay tuned for the end of my post and I’ll give you a link so that you can enter to win some fantastic JustRite and Faber-Castell products.  For my project purchased one of the $1.00 wooden frames at Michaels.  I covered it with paper embellished with Spellbinders™ Trendy M-Bossabilities™ Embossing Folder – Side B,  added flowers made with Spellbinders™Spiral Blossom Four and a butterfly from Spellbinders™ Les Papillions Two.  I finished up with a stamped sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts called Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels Two.   The subtle shading on the frame and flowers comes from two shades of Faber-Castell Gelatos – (melon and butterscotch) laid down on a My Minds Eye piece of design paper covered with text.

Come along with me as I take you through the steps for this transformation :-)
1.  Start with a wooden 8″ square frame.  Emboss with Spellbinders™ Trendy M-Bossabilities™ Embossing Folder – Side B
WRBF-3770-2012

2.  Randomly embellish with Gesso
WRBF-3771-2012
3.  Randomly embellish with gelatos using direct to paper, fingertips and sponge to vary intensity.
WRBF-3772-2012

4. Paint edges of frame with Gesso.  Mark outsides and insides of frame on wrong side of paper.  Trim to fit frame.
WRBF-3773-2012

5.  Put Scortape on frame.  Remove liner and adhere prepared paper to frame.
WRBF-3774-2012

6.  Cut three flowers and one butterfly using Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Four and a butterfly from Spellbinders™ Les Papillions Two.  Paint flower with gesso and embellish with gelato as shown.
WRBF-3775-2012

7.  Add flower, butterfly and ribbon embellishments to frame.  Stamp sentiment with flourish – insert in frame opening. 
WRBF-3776-2012
