Just spotted this is up on the Crafty Individuals blog so thought I'd better blog it! I covered a cheap frame with texture paste and painted it with gold, copper, and black Lumiere paints. The background is one of the Spring Background papers, with a People and Places Venice Gondola image edged with gold German scrap (all from Crafty Individuals). The image on the right is from the same pack, Gondolas again, set into clear UTEE in a scallop shaped biscuit cutter, then the backing removed to make it more transparent.
On the left is one of the Tando gothic frames (again from Crafty Individuals), covered in Spring background papers, and the little heart at the top carefully cut out. I popped another Gondola image behind it, popping the insert piece back as a little door. I have shown it open and closed in the pictures. To add to the door image I stamped it with the door CI 249 . I really love all the CI products I used to make this!
Wow, this is gorgeous. I love those colors.
