Make It Count

Good afternoon and happy Sunday. It's an F1 weekend again which means that no-one notices that I'm missing, so it's into the room of fun for me (and no I don't keep my ironing board in there). The latest PaperArtsy topic is 'dark to light', so I went into the box of 'all things Seth'.




It's ages since I altered one of these photo frames. As you can see they come with the royal seal of approval.
I started by painting a background with Seth's Set 1 Frescos. There's also some stamping using his PaperArtsy stamps.

Then I put some modelling paste through the Stencil Girl stencil, made some chippy b/grounds, and stamped with Seth's PaperArtsy sets 1,2,3, and 4. I've used Frantage embossing powder to give it a nice chunky feel.
I also put embossing paste through a stencil around the photo frame, and this time painted with Seth's Set 2. I'm a little bit in love with the Patina and Key Lime.
I found these wooden circles in a paper bag buried at the back of a drawer, so I painted and stamped these too.
More of the lovely Patina and Key Lime on these Seth Chippies and a little bit of Frantage.
And we're all done - finished in the same day woo-hoo. 

 I'm also entering my frame into the That's Crafty All Things Grunge challenge,
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes, and
Simon Says Stamp Monday You've Got The Edge.

 Have a very happy week and thanks very much for looking x

    Brilliant! I love how all the painty layers build up such depth and detail and then the layered stamping adds even more textural delight. Gorgeous stencilled texture on the frame too. This is magnificent!
