Prika: Mixed Media Ornamental Frame by DT Jaishree Bansal

Hello beautiful crafters,

Welcome to Prika’s blog, this DT member Jaishree this side. Today I am here with yet another mixed media alteration for you all.

I received a beautiful MDF ornamental frame in my DT kit last month and have been wanting to alter it since. So here it is finally done!

As our theme for the challenge this month is gold and glitter, I used the gold part and made the base of my frame metallic with touches of gold. To begin I added IMMIX black gesso from expressions craft and then IMMIX crackle texture paste. Since the frame was plain MDF I used Prima molds and some air-dry clay to create ornate elements for the frame.

List of Supplies Used:

➤ IMMIX Heavy gesso black — Expressions craft

➤ IMMIX crackle texture paste — Expressions Craft

➤ Dark velvet metallic paint — Prima

➤ Gold rush metallic paint — Prima

➤ Mystic turquoise Metallique wax — Prima

➤ Rose gold Metallique wax- Prima

➤ IMMIX Deco Stones Medium — expressions craft

➤ Vintage Art Decor Mould Baroque #1 — Prima

➤ Air dry clay — Sakura

I covered everything up in black gesso and then experimented with metallic colours from prima. I finally settled with dark velvet, gold rush and hints of fuchsia pink. I topped it all with some prima waxes in the colours mystic turquoise and rose gold.

On the right hand-side I added an old metal frame from my stash and some clay embellishments. I then decorated it with some rose buds and a pearl string.

While on the left hand-side, I added some metal leaf embellishments (covered in black gesso and topped with metallique waxes), rose flowers, buds and leaves.
