Artful Times Challenge Number 2~Altered Picture Frame

Good Evening! Tonight I have a quick post with my project to enter into the Artful Times Challenge Blog. This is a new blog started by my friend Neet along with her friends Von and Sam. This is challenge number 2 and the theme is "Sea of Greens". When I think of green, I think St.Patty's Day! I just got some photos of us at the parade printed recently, so I wanted to include a photo from those prints. I had a plain wood frame..threw in a photo of Ryelynn on her first St.Patty's Day (at the Cleveland Parade) and got to painting! Here it is....










I painted lots of layers with different paints, added all kinds of goodies from my stash, and used ctmh stamps, and I made all of the flowers with my Flower Shoppe Cricut Cartridge. 

Hope you all like my creation! :) Head on over the Artful Times and join in! 

Hugs,
HL

  8. Hi Heather - my you have been busy. Love the LO you have created with your little one enjoying her first Paddy Parade. Lots of good things going on in there - must investigate that cartridge myself and you never know I might dust my Cricut as a result.
