To create this frame I first mixed the cream acrylic paint, CTMH pearl paint and sweet leaf reinker. I painted the frame with two coats. After that I applied the reinker directly onto the frame with a cotton ball. After that I misted the frame using the CTMH white reinker and mixing it with water and pearl paint in a CTMH Spray Pen.

To create the mittens, I cut them at 2 1/2 " with the Cricut Artise Cartridge (available exclusively through your Close to My Heart Consultant) and strung them together with the baker's twine.

For this altered frame I used the following products:

Close to My Heart Sweet Leaf Reinker
Close to My Heart Create a Shade Pearl Paint
Close to My Heart White Daisy Reinker
Anita's Acrylic Craft Paint, Cream
Close to My Heart White Daisy Cardstock
Close to My Heart Blue Denim and Cranberry Ink
Close to My Heart Baker's Twine Harvest Assortment
Close to My Heart clear buttons
