Holiday memories

Hi everyone, Janja here.
Today I'm sharing with you a card on which I caught a few holiday memories. All dies are from new release CottageCutz - nautical. They are so gorgeous that you simply can't resist.


The folded card measures: 5.3" x 5.3" (13.5 x 13.5 cm). On base card front, I glued blue cardstock in the size of 5" x 5" (12.7 x 12.7 cm) and inserted in the middle of the frame picture on canvas.

I first gently shaded white canvas in size 3.7" x 3.7" (9.5 x 9.5 cm) with Distress ink - Broken China. I tore blue and patterned paper off with the hands and glued onto the canvas.
For a lighthouse, I used a cardstock in blue, red and white. When it was drafted, I shaded it with the Distress Ink - Pumice Stone and attached with foam pads. Just so it wouldn't hang in the air, I put it on the dunes borrowed from the seagull.
The sailboat is cut out of blue and white cardstock. From a white cutout I only used the sail, which is also shaded with Distress Ink - Pumice Stone. The sailboat is glued directly into the canvas. I added two clouds and seagulls.


Also the frame is made of canvas, which I initially impregnated with white gesso. 


As I forgot during the creation to make a photo, I made another one, from white cardstock.

Cut out 4 strips, width 0.4" (1 cm). They should be longer than the finished frame, which measures 4.75" x 4.75" (12 x 12 cm). On the reverse side they are bonded with removable adhesive tape. Turn frame and cut it in diagonal lines. 
The strips are painted with white paint. I used chalky finish white. When the paint was dry, I all the edges of the frame shadowed with Distress ink - Vintage Photo, to obtain a shabby look. 


It only remains to re-assemble the frame and truncate tip at the corners with a scissors. That the framework will really look like real, we enhance the edges. This was done with a bone folder. 
I decorated it with the die - rope corner

Enjoy and have fun.
