I found a beautiful print of a peacock in the Spring Peacock Junk Journal kit that I cut down to fit my frame. I actually found the frame for 35 cents at goodwill along with the puzzle I used to alter it for 49 cents.
I put the print in the frame because I had to alter around the peacock. I did not want to accidentally have a puzzle piece over the head of the peacock.
I notice the puzzle had a lot of pieces of the sky that matched the print perfectly. This is when I decided to put the black gesso away and just use the pieces as they were and I am really glad I did.
I used Quick Grip to adhere the puzzle pieces to the frame because it pretty much holds everything!
I adhered the first layer of puzzle pieces….
and went over it a second time making sure I added some feathers!
Next, I added some gems from my stash that matched!
I pulled out some Emerald Green paint by Prima to dry brush on the puzzle pieces.
Once the paint dried I decided it was finished.
Come back this week to see the rest of the care package and the other fun altered things I made for it as well as how to create your own care package for a loved one.
Until Next Time ~ Happy Crafting!
