New Frame

Here is a new frame I did using one of the 18X18 frames from Cut Your Way.  I am happy with the look of the  finished product, although not with the paint finish.  I used Ranger Crackle Paint and love the color, but the finish is pretty rough and didn't crackle evenly (ie, some sections crackled and others didn't).  Possibly because I was covering such a large area.  As it was fairly rough, the Decor Elements from Stampin' Up didn't adhere very well.  I had to peel one leaf off the Lollipop Flowers.  But I think the rest will stay on ok with the coating of Krylon Triple Thick that I used on it.  I might have to order another set of the words so that I can do another frame up, then maybe sand this one down and start over.  I still have half the Lollipop Flowers left as I cut a pack of white and a pack of brown up into individual stems so I could alternate the colors.
