Gothic Arch Frame- Fiona Randall

 

Morning All it's Gothic Week here on the Blog.

I love a Gothic theme and I love Arches so this little project ticks all the right boxes for me.

I have used one of the Tando Gothic Arch Layered frames for my project. It consists of five frames to layer on top of the base and gives real depth to your project.

I covered the base in some Tim Holtz Halloween paper as this gives a real Gothic feel to the background. next I glued and layered all five frames together and then gave them a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon. I then inked up the frame with versamark ink and applied sticky stuff embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool. This makes the frame sticky for the next step which is foiling.

I pressed a piece of pewter foil to an area of the frame  and rubbed lightly and lifted straight away.

 This gives a random distressed aged effect.

 I continued this step all around the frame until I was happy.

I then went over the foiling with a coat of Black DecoArt Antiquing cream and wiped back back to age the frame further.

I then gave a resin frame, cast from a Finnabair Mold a coat of DecoArt Media Black gesso and heat set.

 I then swiped over the raised edges of the frame with some DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Silver Spark.

I stamped the skull in Black Archival Ink and applied clear embossing powder and heat set. 

This was then cut and glued to fit in the frame as shown.

DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon was then applied to a Tando Bookplate From Andy Skinner's Industrial Elements set and the edges swiped with the Metallic lustre as used on the small frame.

I inked a scrap of white card stock with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and then applied a sentiment from one of Andy Skinner's Mixed Media Transfer sets.

The small resin frame was then applied to the Gothic Arch Frame using an off cut of grey board to raise and give depth and dimension.

The bookplate was then added to finish.

A quick and easy project and I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today
