Classical Wall Art - ATC Size

Image
By
Anyone else a big fan of the museum gift shops? I especially yearn to own every tiny, framed, famous painting. Those that fit in the palm of your hand and can be displayed anywhere. 
I needed to DIY my own. AlteredPages.com to the rescue!


This is a very simplified process. Eco Board, dry adhesive, and an image. You decide if you want to gingerbread-it-up. I added some trims of chipboard from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and rubbed some gilding paste.  Temporary adhesive on the back and voilà! 

 The supply list is manageable:
Chipboard  
Eco Board (ATC sized)
Mini Images Art Collage   
Adhesive 
Dew Drops 
Metallic Rub-on Sets 
Cardstock  
Temporary Adhesive  

 The images I chose and printed on cardstock:


Trimmed and adhered to the ATC Eco Board with dry adhesive.

Added chipboard trimmings onto some dry adhesive.

With all four sides trimmed, the metallic rub-on gives a gilded shine.

The other image received a similar treatment. Dew Drops were added for the blank corners.

Here they are together.


The newly "framed" Classical Art has a new home beside the front door:

Here you can see it in relation to the door:

Ciao for now,

    First thing I thought was that these would be outstanding in a doll house. Not Barbie...the other kind.

    These look wonderful - the diecuts look like some sort of gold-colored metal! I would never have thought of using the borders in this way - thanks!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
