I've had some tools and sheets of metal from Ten Seconds Studio for quite some time, and today I finally got around to having a go with them - well, with the metal at least!I picked up some cheap frames from Ikea and used cuttlebug embossing folders to apply texture to the silver and copper coloured metal. Finally I painted the whole frame with white acrylic paint and then buffed it with some kitchen paper when dry to reveal the silver and copper on the raised areas.
The frame looked a bit bare with nothing in it, so I rooted around in my box of cast-off project pieces and cut this piece from a stamped and painted Christmas thing I abandoned a year or two ago. I thought the colours were perfect for the frame - I hope you agree! :)
That looks awesome Dan!!!!!! Glad to hear you are using your Cuttlebug!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great Dan! :) I might have to try something like this.
ReplyDeleteThat is Awesome, Dan, what a Great idea...

That is a great idea to cover a frame with Cuttlebugged metal. I am so not an out-of-the-box thinker, and I'm always amazed at what people who are come up with. Really nice project, and a great idea that I might need to "borrow". :-)
ReplyDeletecool frame, Dan, hope all is well

Oh my, that looks super Dan...and if the piccie is a 'cast-off' I dread to think what wonders you consign to the bin LOL
ReplyDeleteToni :o)
Very Cool and Creative...great job Dan....I always love your work...
ReplyDeleteAmazing - I would never have thought of using the cuttlebug with this and the paint effect over the metal is awesome. I have that folder and not found a use for it yet, but I live in hope! Now all I need is the metal .....
