IAR Altered Mirror



I love the shape of this mirror and new instantly I wanted to alter this and add IAmRoses flowers. I really love that you can take something so simply and by adding IAMRoses flowers, it creates something very beautiful. I first painted the frame with FolkArt Baby Pink acrylic paint, then painted crackle medium and painted on top of that with FolkArt Vintage White acrylic paint. I distressed the edges with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I wanted to add my favorite lace and pearls around the entire frame. My lace bird diecut was just the perfect piece to add my mirror. I'm having fun with all these different lace die cuts and adding them to my projects. Listed below are the flowers I incorporated on my mirror.

I Am Roses Flower

R6 - 147 1" Creme Roses
T30 - 151 White Semi Open Rose Buds
K1 - 828 Brown Small Skeleton Leaves
B0 - 508 Pale Green Leaves
R 40 - 77 2" Pink Roses
