Well I am certainly fashionably late for 'Mask It' which is the latest Fashionable Stamping Challenge. Fellow teamie Claire was the inspiration behind this challenge. As we are a stamping challenge we do require some stamping on your project and no digis please, Our generous sponsor is Marina from Cottage Crafts with a fantastic prize for the winning entree. Please do pop over to FSC head quarters for lots of lovely inspiration from those Fashionettes.
I found an old picture frame which I white washed and shabbied up a little adding a touch of gilding paste here and there. I cut some chipboard to fit and painted with gesso then covered with Tim Holtz tissue paper, added some more gesso to soften the effect then I used some stencils to add the butterflies and swirls.
I tore some more tissue paper and decoupaged onto some mini frames adding more gilding paste and coated with crackle medium. I used some lovely stampsmith stamps for the inside of the frames and added a few embellishments to complete my vintage frame.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are not buried under an ever increasing mount of Christmas craftiness.
Have a Happy & Crafty Week.

Lovely project, again!
This is beyond delicious Paula. The background has enough detail without deflecting the eye too much from those stunning mini frames. That would be a great way to display a set of family photos too. Hugs, Jenny x
Wow, Paula, that's a fabulous project.
OMG what a wonderful framed piece of art

How amazing, dear Paula, your idea of using the mini frames inside the big one, is wonderful, and the small frames are gorgeous in their new dress-- I love it.
Hugs,Dorthe

This is one of these..*looking with open mouth* creations. How cool is that? The decoupaged mini frames are really stunning.(:o)
Hi Paula.
I am still catching up a bit and love your 'masking' sample for FSC. The main frame is beautifully shabby as are the mini frames with the tissue paper on and the background is perfect for them.
If I don't get over again this weekend have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
