Winter Love Picture Frame

Winter Love picture frame

11)     Take the glass and cardboard out of the frame. Place a sheet of paper inside frame so as not to paint glass. Then use a brush to paint a layer of gesso on the top of the frame (not the sides). Clean brush immediately in water.

22)     While the gesso is drying, paint the love plaque with burnt umber paint. Let dry.

33)     Take more gesso and mix with sand. Apply this mixture with a paintbrush around both the outer and inner edges of the frame.

44)     While frame is drying, pick 7 flowers and spray with distress ink or loosen nozzle and drizzle down the middle of each petal. Let dry.

55)     Use the shoe box to spray the frame lightly with blue spray. Spritz with water to spread the color.

66)     Once the love plaque is completely dry, spray or drizzle with distress spray.

77)     Adhere the love plaque with 3D gloss gel. Use heat gun to speed up drying.

88)     Cut 3 small branches of raffia and tie with another short piece of raffia. Adhere to the corner of love plaque with 3D gloss gel.

99)     Adhere the bird to the love plaque with 3D gloss gel.

110) Use white liquid pearls to draw a round circle in the center in each flower. Leave a hole in the middle. Use gold liquid pearls to draw a dot in the center of each flower.

**Clean brushes quickly after using gesso. If not, it will be hard to remove.

**Use the shoe box when spraying sprays so they don’t get on other areas.

**Use a wet paper towel to clean sides of frame.
