When I received the Design Team package from Country Craft
Creations in Hooper, I was excited to see the Marion Smith Garment District
Collection. I knew it would be easy to use these beautiful papers to create a
soft 'vintage feel' project and I knew just what I wanted to do. The 8x10 frame
came unfinished which I base coated with the creamy acrylic putty colored paint.
I then inked the frame with vintage photo so it would show through areas that I
tore in the papers. I tore the edges of the papers and inked using the same
vintage photo. It was a lot of fun picking and choosing the papers but a hard
choice as they are all so beautiful. I cut some of the elements from the papers
to use as embellishments along the bottom of the frame. The glitter trim was
added to the rounded cut out from the papers to highlight the usable booklet it
holds. The front says "On This Day" and was a cut out from the collection in the
form of a small booklet. The inside I also used part of a cut out from the
collection so journaling could be written about the picture. I added flowers
that I applied the putty colored paint along the petals to 'age' them along with
a little ink. I embellished some of the flowers with glimmer mist that I made. I
added the doilies and ribbons along with the curled wires and included some of
the gems from Marion Smiths JunQue and Gems.
How fitting this would be to hold a wedding picture of ones
parents or grandparents. The soft vintage style of this collection is a must
have for those wanting to create something timeless.
