APOTHECARY/STEAMPUNK 3D FRAME

Hey everyone,

I'm so excited to announce that I'm now on the Daisy's Jewels & Crafts design team.  Eeeeeeek. Which means I get to get my hands on all sorts of lush mdf and be creative!

For this DT project I used the gorgeous 3D frame #3, find this on www.daisysjewelsandcrafts.com
I covered it one of Stamperia's vintage clocks and dragonflies rice papers, using mod podge.
When it was dry, I used vintage photo distress ink to age it more.

I created a fantastic rusty key, using Finnabair's rust effect paste, and added this to the top of the frame. Then, added the mdf word, "Authentic" - from Daisy's Jewels and Crafts. I gave it a quick wash with frayed burlap distress paint.

Daisy's Jewels & Crafts do so many amazing mdf goodies, so I chose some cogs, old keys, and a birdcage to embellish my frame. I was going with a shadow box kind of idea, and love the steampunk and apothecary look.

I used a few metal embellishments too, and used Tim Holtz ideaology bits n bobs to embellish the frame too, including his apothecary vials.

I added ball chain, via screw eyes at the back, to hang to the wall, and a few screw eyes and swivel clasps under the frame to add a mini pocket watch, key, and cog. I then added a mini frame on the front, with "Dream" added to it.

I was pleased with the outcome, I hope you like it too.
