Memory Frame - National Scrapbooking Day - NSD - May - AVSC

Hi all,

How are we all going in what is a tremendous time..

This month for May is National Scrapbooking Day - NSD and in Aunty Vera's Scrap and Craft land this last's All of May..

It is all about memories and stories and photos and so I chose to remember my son who passed away. My heart grieves for him every day and I chose this frame to show you his personality..
This will be a hard month as I go through each process and tell you a little about each photo.

I will show you the completed frame then as the month goes by I will post little tutorials for each part of the frame. Please follow along with me and all the Creative team this month..

I chose a larger frame from the cheap shop which measures 29.7cm x 42cm.

I discarded the glass and print (to use for another project?) and sanded the frame

back a little to 'Grab' the paint..

I really like the stencil from my kit so stencilled it around the frame with textured paste.

I gave it a coat of black Gesso to make the raised stencilled images stand out..

I did go over this with Inka Gold - Gold and Art Alchemy - Opal Magic Wax.

Using a strong spray glue and a piece of material (I used calico), cover the back of the frame and put the frame together as shown.. (no glass).

I fussy cut different papers to place on the base using scraps of thick cardboard underneath the pieces to give lift and dimension. Loving it already and love this paper..
