Altered Frame ~~Graphic 45~~

This is my very 1st Altered Project and I had fun with it.  It was such a fragile frame as it is made out of really old wood, so I had to be really careful.  I used a 2-step crackle from Michael's to give it an even more distressed look!!  After that dried, I applied some Tim holtz Distress Inks and rubbed them in a circular motion in a few areas for a little color.  The image I found online, sorry I can't remember right now.  As many of you know, I love Graphic 45 and used their "The Magic of Oz" Collection.  I backed the photo with some G45 paper and did a lot of fussy cutting to add the touches of Graphic 45 around the doors of the frame.  I'm going to have this in my kitchen this Halloween with some other decorations around it, can't wait!!!  Thanks so much for taking a peek, and I hope you enjoy it!!!  Karen

Here's a couple of close-ups of the altered frame above.  I used 2 applications of some crackle paint and let that dry, then inked in areas with some Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  The rest was just some fussy cutting with the Graphic 45 Oz collection.  This was a fun project!!
