A Couple Details:
- The frame started life as raw chipboard that colored using a variety of Distress Stain colors, then stamped the filigree frame and corner images in StazOn Timber Brown. Next, I embossed the frame using the Tim Holtz Woodgrain texture fade and accented the raised areas, corners, and edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. As a final fancy step, I spritzed the whole frame with Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls mist and then added some Vintage Photo Distress Stickles.
- To create the medallion, I stamped the image on kraft cardstock, again using StazOn. I then cut out the image and accented the base color with layers of various Distress Stains. Once those were dry, I covered the cardstock in Versamark and proceeded to layer on about three applications of Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE). On the final application, I spritzed some Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls onto the warm UTEE and re-heated just long enough for the PP to be absorbed. This creates a pitted surface to the UTEE...sort of like corroded metal. The final touch on the medallion is a fancy metal brad.
