Easy Embellished Vintage Pictures
by
B.J. B
I started with plastic frames (7 by 9) that I purchased at a craft store. I first painted them with a pinky taupe color, let dry, then dry brushed a darker taupe on the frame to add some depth. I copied the vintage advertising pictures from Graphics Fairy (thank you Graphics Fairy). I glued some embellishments to the pictures and that was it. It took less than an hour. I plan to do vintage Christmas pictures next.
I added a vintage brooch to the spool, a button to the dress and a typewriter key to the background.
I had some handmade vintage lace that I glued on and then added a vintage brooch. I just wanted the advertisement for background interest.
