Altered Frame -- Eiffel Tower

I included the original piece that I started with on this in picture 3. I bought three of these little wooden frames from Joann's for $.29 each on Christmas clearance. I can't wait to alter the other two. To start, I painted the frame & screen black. Once that dried I layered pink shimmer acrylic paint (Plaid: Folk Art - Metallic Rose - it's so pretty!) over the black on the frame & the screen. One that dried, I took off the screen & tied the ribbon on the left side (Offray) & to the bottom (Scrappy Glue to adhere). I then painted the “Dress It Up” corner with the black & then the pink paint, attached with Scrappy Glue. I printed the Eiffel Tower photo from the internet & cut to size with good ‘ole “Deckle scissors”. I then inked the image with Versa Mark stamp pad, edged with black pigment ink & covered with clear embossing powder. Brads & the square black button (upper left corner) are from MM. So is the pink flower in the lower right corner. Button & old earring (in the center attached to the ribbon) are my grandmothers. Pink feather (upper right corner), pink jewels & black little flower (lower right corner) are from a “craft stash I have”. The little pink heart in the upper left corner is Heidi Grace. Once I had everything adhered to the mesh screen (I had to use wire to hold the feather & the black button in the lower right corner to the wire mesh) I hot glued it back onto the frame. The total size is: 3“ x 3 1/2”. Whew…I think that’s it. Thanks for looking!!!
