Along time ago in the Scrapbook store i worked at we got this fun product in called Deco Art Metallic Lustre and we had a go with it on all kinds of things. One of them was wood so i had this idea to mix the greens and the orange and see what happens. And this is it. It's an easy product to use because all you need to do is sand the wood really good and then rub it on with an old t-shirt or something soft. I did the green layer first and then the orange in a few places.
Here is a closer view of the frame. I used lots of ribbons, greenery that i cut from
a Spellbinders die and some other fall things i had in my stash. The fall quote i found
online and thought it looked really good with my $1.50 wood frame. The outside
frame is Spellbinders Mystical Embrace and the paper is from Basic Grey.
And here is my little birdhouse to got with it. These are my mother in laws
favorite colors and i think i was channeling something special for her. I hope
that she is smiling from heaven at what i did :) Sure miss her alot.
Other things i used for this are: Sandpaper, Stencil for the Birdhouse roof, Glass
bead glitter gel and Beacon 3 in 1 adhesive. I really love that glue, it really sticks.
