'Effortlessly beautiful' with Manor House Creations & The Dusty Attic

 

Hi everyone,

 

Welcome. Today, I have a display frame to share with you, featuring lots of Dusty Attic goodies. I made this frame for my daughter, it was inspired by the top left photo of her, which I came accross recently. I thought she looked very elegant and lady like, and I thought these papers, and chippy pieces were the perfect combination to reflect that. She is a farm girl, through and through, and these photos of her all dressed up are hard to come by, as you can see by the other 2 phtoos I've used. lol.

To create the main frame, I first painted it with Dusty in colour 'Gingernut' acrylic paint, then used a crackle paint, then painted the top layer in 'Alabaster'.

 

 

I painted all my chippy pieces using Dusty in colour 'Alabaster'. For the Moroccan lamp, I added a touch of metallic copper ink in a few places, then wrapped a die cut vine around it.

 

 

Ive used 'Alabaster' acrylic paint again for the Vintage clock 1 , and added a few metal bit and pieces, to give it a more vintage feel .

 

 I cut up an old vine I had lying around, and adhered some of the gorgeous peach coloured mini roses to it. The beautiful, soft folds of the ’Ruffles’ flower was the perfect addition here
 

 

I love the crackle look to the frame, and the 'Gingernut' paint is perfect base colour.
