Angel Frame

I decided to make a framed angel piece from the canvas I painted and stamped earlier. I turned the canvas over, and drew on a "X" to mark where to cut the canvas with a craft knife.
I folded the cut flaps toward the back and glued them down, creating a canvas frame. I wrapped a bronze and a white gossamer ribbon together around the frame.
I added a larger white gossamer ribbon along the top and bottom edges under the other ribbons. Glued an angel embellishment to the top left corner. Colored a silver "HOPE" metal buckle with gold alcohol ink and added it to the lower white ribbon. Tied a flower charm inside a heart frame charm and tied them inside the frame.
I painted two white prisma flowers with q. nickle azo gold acrylic paint. Then sprayed them with four other white prisma flowers with copper Color Mist.
I layered the prisma flowers together with a bronze brad and attached them to the ribbons on the frame. I glued an angel printed onto a transparency sheet to the back of the frame.
A fun project.
