have you been playing!!
i have and had so much fun creating this piece to share with you that i may have forgotten to take some step outs for you so be sure to ask any questions you may have in the comment section or shoot me an email!!
so not only have i been having fun this month playing with the fabulous DecoArt Media Line, but the whole Inspiration Team has been having a blast over at Eileen Hulls Art with Heart Challenge
i then chose a variety of paints and painted the entire frame and once dried applied some antique cream in white. this is my favorite part of the entire frame!! loved this finish but i didn’t stop….
how sweet is that finish!!!
next i applied crackle to the frame to antique it even further
for the banner i coated the whole thing using liquid glass which as it was drying allowed me to bend and wrap the banner around my frame..isn’t that cool!!!
so here are all the products from the media line that i used:
and here is my finished project
There is still a bit of time left to enter

Way way cool! What an awesome design too! I LOVE the texture and color of the bird!!!
[…] Diana Hetherington is sharing a beyond beautiful 3-D Bird Frame project. Diana has combined my latest Sizzix Collection Vintage travel with some old favorites like the 3-D bird to create this lovely display piece. Not only that, Diana also shares a clever way to create with Matboard scraps and get the most from your Sizzix dies! This Mixed-Media tutorial is not to be missed! […]
