Here is a picture of a photoframe that I have made recently, it started off as plain chipboard and I gave it a thin coat of gesso, dried it with my heat gun and then painted it with my pearl acrylic dauber.  Again I dried it and then I used my new cosmic shimmer mist that arrived a couple of weeks ago.  I quite like it, I hope you do too!  My first photoframe, next I move onto my papermania ones that I am hoping to make for Christmas pressies. :o)
