Gothic Window Frame Project- Fiona Randall

 

Morning lovely people. For my latest Tando DT Project I have created a wall plaque using one of my new Gothic Frame Designs recently launched and now available to purchase in the Tando Shop.


I have used the large Gothic Frame Style 1 for this project. 
To start I used my Fancy deep frame which I assembled and glued omitting using the top panels. I then applied a layer of modelling paste all over the back panel with a pallet knife to create texture and before it dried I scored lines to create a large brick patten.
 I was going for a Castle/Church look here.
 Then created another frame to go around the Gothic Arch frame using foam board. 
I rounded the edges using a curved woodworking tool and then sanded to smooth. 
I also made the corbals that sit under the frame from foambord too and gave them the same rounded corner treatment as the foam frame. 
I then gave the foam frame a coat of texture sand paste and also the back panel in places. Once dry the foam frame and back panel were given a coat of DecoArt Americana Acrylic in Dove Grey and dried with a heat tool. 
Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Paynes Grey was the added and dried with a heat tool. Washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Sap Green was then applied in random places to give an aged stone effect.
I then applied DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Dark Grey Value 3 to the lattice layer of the large gothic frame.
 I then mixed some of the dove grey paint into the dark grey paint and made a lighter shade and to this mix I added some texture sand paste and applied with a stipple brush to the ornate layer of the Gothic frame and dried with a heat tool.
I then dry brushed some dove grey over the frame to pick up and highlight the texture. The gothic frame layers were then glued together and inserted into the foam frame frame which creates that recessed look.
 I then printed a stain glass window effect onto an inkjet transparency sheet and cut to size and applied to the back of the gothic Arch Frame.
 I added tiny lights to the deep fancy frame base and then glued the Gothic Arch in place as shown.
 The corbals were then glued in place under the window as shown. To finish I added some Ivy Rub on Transfers in opposite corners for interest. 
The above photo shows the finished project with the lights off.


This shows the project with the lights switched on.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my little project. I am quite pleased how this one turned out.
