"After finishing some new headbands I had some burlap and
lace scraps left laying on the table next to some peacock feathers and had the
sudden idea to make some wall art with it all.
I went rummaging through the house trying to find other
things to use and by the time I was done I ended up with a cute new little
piece to add to my living room.

I took a frame that I had painted in red, then went over it
with a watered down coat of white paint. After the white dried I sanded it here
and there to show more of the red.
I took the cardboard backing out of the frame and glued a
12x12 piece of scrapbook paper onto the center of it.

Since
the paper wasn't big enough to cover all the cardboard, I put pieces of burlap
over the edges. (notice the hand of my little helper, she's always there assisting
me!)

I
then glued a piece of sheet music onto the paper. I thought about staining the
paper with tea to give it a more shabby look but decided I wanted to leave it
white so it would go with the white frame better.... and to be honest I didn't
have the patience to wait on the paper to dry.

The
star of the piece, a perfect peacock feather, was then attached with a few dabs
of hot glue, followed by a strip of lace across the top corner.

For
the finishing touch I stamped some whimsical swirls kind of randomly on the
edges of the layout. The stamps and ink
were all from "Stampin' Up".
The ink worked well on both the paper and burlap.

When I started working on it I had no idea what I wanted to
do. Like everything I make I never
really start with a plan I just go to throwing things together and hope I end
up with something acceptable.....
luckily this ended up being perfect for what I was wanting."
Thank you so much Pamela for sharing this with us. This is just such a beautiful idea and can be used for any theme, so if you want to do something more Christmassy, then just replace the paper with something related to Christmas, right?
