...Over on the Allsorts Challenge there is a new theme - to ALTER something (yipppeeeee) and on the Lots To Do Challenge there is a new theme...which is VINTAGE....so I combined the two and altered a teensy frame...which really is teensy...about 1" x 2" in size...
I started off by painting the frame with my old fave Traditional Tan (Claudine Hellmuth's range) and then once this had dried, I spritzed it with Walnut Gold Glimmer Mists, heating as I spritzed, so I got a more dappled look. I used a rub on of a vintage lady to go in the middle and inked this with a bit of Brushed Corduroy DI to blend it in.
I then made the smallest rose in the world...cor, this was fiddly but it is worth the fiddling to make such a cute little embellishment. The stamp I used for the rose is on the Flower Power plate from The Artistic Stamper. I used some of the brilliant new Tim Holtz papers to stamp onto...these have got to be a brand new fave!!! I also used an Artistic Stamper script background...stamped with Timber Brown StaZon directly onto the frame ... which I think adds that something extra...and finally I stuck on a few pearls from my junk jewellry box.
Thanks for looking...don't forget, there is a brand new Sunday Stamper theme tomorrow...I am off to make it now LOL

Wow! I love that dinky little rose - and the colours you've used here are fab. Will be back for the SS challenge first thing cos I'll be up at the crack of dawn (despite losing an hours sleep!)for the F1 Grand Prix.

Very nice, I always love these colours , its a lovely picture frame.

Wonderful frame hun. Love them. Hugs.
Love the idea of the glimmer mist over the painted frame - I've only tried it on unpainted wood and it soaked in too much - I'll have to try painting first - love your inspiration!!
Such a sweet little frame! I bet that rose was super fiddly - looks fab though, you must have had your nimble fingers on!
Wow! Hels this is lovely, the wee girl in the frame is so pretty & the rose must have been extra tricky to work with, it's so small, but so well done and gorgeous.

Beautifull altering! Lovely vintage look :)
This is lovely. I cannot believe you made that rose (I do incidentally) - it is perfect - must have been hard on the fingers. Well done! Shows what talent you have.
