Create the Backdrop Painted Frame
Coat the project with Ivory Acrylic Paint for the base coat, then 1 coat of Distress Crackle paint in Antique Linen

Next layer creates color spots like on a Giraffe with Vintage Photo Ranger Distress Crackle paint

With the Spiced Marmalade Ranger Distress ink and pad, push the color into the cracks and rub excess off of the surface

Allow to Dry and coat with Mod Podge to seal the paint

The Rest is Embellishments
Apply the Antique Linen, Walnut Stain and spiced Marmalade  Distress Ink colors to the Die Cut and Sentiment
Add Tulle, ribbons and Whimsy die cut with WOC flowers

I aged the lower WOC large flower with Walnut Stain and Spiced Marmalade and added the Gold Filigree corner piece

  3. What a great frame Tammy; thanks for sharing your steps on achieving the giraffe print.

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for all of your super sweet comments you really made my day:0) I have been waiting for the Whimsy DT call; and when you mentioned it my heart skipped a beat; but I will admit that I am holding off for the rubber DT. I just LOVE Whimsy rubber. Who wouldn't love working with the great versatility that they carry.

    Sending you big hugs;
    Janette
