Flowers: Tim Holtz Alterations die cuts-TATTERED FLORALS.
Leaves: Martha Stewart punch



Frame:This is made from the DUSTY ATTIC frame FLEUR de LIS FRAMES.(DA0511) The frame can be broken down and used more than once.
TIP: I used Tim Holtz Distress crackle paint-Weathered Wood and Vintage Photo. Paint this on. When dry apply PERFECT PEARLS from Ranger-with water and brush- When dry apply glossy in places then sprinkle glass beads. This brings it alive.

Seahorses and film strip: Tattered Angles-SEASIDE COASTAL BREEZE GLASS collection.

TIP:To give it the pop magic....add glossy were wanted.Then add glass beads. Different colors gives it more interest.Leave it over night to dry...give it the time to dry...believe me, one learns this from the school of hard knocks!
