Altered frame "Silver Bells"

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place! 

Wow 2015 is coming to an end so fast.......

I've started classes which is going very well with in between fun creations. I wanted to share this one with you as its a lovely gift idea....

Starting out painting this pretty metal frame then adding a paper from the kaisercraft Silver Bells!

Followed by lightly rubbing on silver to the raised areas to give the appearance of aging!

I wanted to make something with these pretty buttons....so a Christmas tree was perfect!

Finished off with some stickles .....
