Thanksgiving Tray

Hello there, today I'm going to share with you a shadow box tray that I made for Thanksgiving. Well, I started with a cardboard tray that one of my local craft stores threw away.
     

                                            First I painted a coat of folk art acrylic paint (wicker white).

 

 

Then I painted a couple of coats of gesso

 

                                                   Finally I distressed it with Tim Holtz distressed inks
                                                                      vintage photo and walnut


When I finished that I then added my paper which was from there fall collection. I then used a number of sizzix dies and punches. This was a very fun and relaxing project.
