Parisian Flea Market Shabby Frame

This little shabby frame is a sweet way to add a vintage touch to your home, office, or to give as a gift. The frame can be old or new. I painted a new frame a creamy white and distressed it with sand paper. The back and glass were also removed, and a piece of Rusty Netting was added using hot glue and tacks. I created a layered tag using images from Digi Sheet 222 and Digi Sheet 223. A sweet brad was inserted and a Peridot Rose was glued to the front of the tag. The tag was glued to the screen for extra security. A few buttons were added to the tag for a vintage look.

The frames could be done using your favorite Paper Whimsy images or create a sweet vignette of several frames to display.

    No trip to Paris would be complete without visiting a flea market. This lovely little trinket would make a marvelous house warming gift for a dear friend!
