Finished project created with the Scraps of Darkness Transition Kit. I used the color add on and the creativity add on for this project as well:
I started by applying a sheet of the Deco Mache sheets to the entire frame. I wasn't sure how I wanted to "do" it so I just used the entire sheet planning to cut the hole out for the frame later.
I misted and sprayed the back of the frame and kept the color scheme with a vintage fall look using Lindy's mists and some Heidi Swapp Bronzer mist.
I then used the Lumiere paints included in the kit to create a green and gold sheen over the misting work and also to tone down and lighten the "harsh" dark colors on the back of the frame. I used the Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing power included in the kit and a stamp from my stash to
create the scroll corner border on each corner of the frame. I love how this is on the back of the frame. It's like a little secret that only a few people will know about!
I applied a paper from the kit on the backer board of the frame and used another stamp and the embossing power to create a little effect on the picture back ground. As you can see, some of the mist bled onto the paper as a leftover from my color work on the backside of the frame.
To cover up the mist bleed on the front of the frame, I used the flowers from the kit and arranged them expertly to cover my "mistake". This kit also included some great leaf chipboard elements. I painted them with the green Lumiere paint, used my stamps to "messily" stamp an embossed pattern on them. After embossing with clear embossing powder I finger brushed the pinkish gold Lumiere paint over the embossing to get the detail I was looking for. For a finishing touch I applied some of the Lumiere paint to the bodies of the butterflies and dragons on the paper and added some embellishments from the Prima Ephemera pack included in the kit.
Thank you so much for looking and thank you for all of your love!
Love,
Mel
