I loved the inspiration pic so I just HAD to play along!




I kept it super simple by just swiping the inks across the paper, then I added a simple black sentiment..

we were at an auction this past week and picked up some antique frames

now they were pretty rough (I wish I did a before shot)


So a couple coats of krylon, some Claudine Helmuth and pretty fabric later, this is what I ended up with
