NOT ALL WALL HANGINGS NEED TO BE FRAMED!

I just located this bright blue eyed one year old boy. He is 4 1/2 now, but I love the two teeth and the little chunky face. And of course the face framed with red hair. We where living in a apartment at this time while we built our current house. We sold the last one before we where even ready to start building. So no it was not a big party, not enough room for that, but it was special just the same when we are celebrating this little guy.

The papers are from Sassafras and the foam thickers are from American Crafts. They originally where black. You all have seen me do this before. I painted the black thickers with cream paint then sprayed with, you guessed it, Glimmer Mist. If you add together different colors and then top coat with a silver or gold Glimmer Mist it gives a great look of metal.

You may not always be able to control it, but I think this is what is so great about Glimmer Mist. It gives us all a new way to mix colors and try for great out comes. Try it yourself!

CREATE SOMETHING FABULOUS TODAY!

This is really cute. I always love the misc-shaped backgrounds on things so this was 'right up my alley' so to speak.
Great project!
