The beautiful picture of the pumpkin with the apples, corn and wheat is from one of the Seasonal Heartwarming Vintage Booklets, Celebrating Seasons & Holidays. I also added a little sparkle to the fall picture using the Spica Glitter pens. I used the Gold, Organge, Melon and Red glitter pens.I also wanted to share with you a few before and after pictures. Here is the frame before.Now here is the frame after I did a little bit of painting and altering. I used Coffee Bean paint to paint over the entire frame and once that was dry then I painted over that using Daisy Cream paint. When I used the Daisy Cream paint I went over one section of the frame at a time and then used a rag to wipe off some of the paint before it was dry. Once the paint was completly dry I used sealer with a satin finish.Here is a picture showing the before and after results of the fall leaves. It's amazing what you can do with a little ink! The leaves were a little too bright for my project and I wanted to tone them down a bit. I used three different colors of the Ranger Adirondack Inks, Terra Cotta, Butterscotch & Bottle to get the color I wanted for the leaves.Here is another view of the frame so you can see some of the dimension.Also don't forget to check out the blogs for all of the other ladies on the Crafty Secrets Design Team, I know they will have wonderful projects to inspire all of you!!
