Tin Tile Fall Decor Project

I've worked on this project for a long time and am so happy to share it with you today.  We'll be making this project (minus the frame) at our Sept. 17 (note - a week later than usual) Scraps and Prayers class.  (Mon., Sept.10 is the deadline to pay to register for this class.)  This project was inspired by the framed project on page 42 in our new Holiday Catalog.  The first time I saw it, I could hardly wait for my pre-order to arrive so I could make my version of it.  And here it is.

I knew I wanted to use an 8 X 8" square frame, with a shallow shadow box look to it.  I looked high and low and the only ones that I could find did not have removable glass.  This project needs to show all the texture and dimension to the layers and would never look the same behind glass.

My solution:  I bought an inexpensive frame with a metal backing that had a text painted on it.  I simply covered it with DSP (after a little painting) and built my project from there.  I had to add an extra piece of Galvanized Metallic Paper, as well as DSP, but I made it work.

The star of the entire project is the 'tin tile' layer.  It is created using our new Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF --- an absolutely amazing embossing folder.  I added layers of ink over it, to give a slightly distressed/aged look to it.  An interesting thing about this project is that it mixes a variety of metals together --- copper, tin, gold glimmer --- while still maintaining a rustic look.

I know you've heard me say it before, but this was one of my most favorite projects ever.
