added 2 layers of cardboard (i couldn't find cork so used what i had). painted the cardboard white then took at walnut stain and sprayed it on and then smudged it with an old paintbrush to make it look aged.
added my foo-foo stuff with upholstery tacks and it looks great hanging in my art studio now."see more on lisa's blog.
I've been wanting to make a mood board recently and this is a perfect inspiration!

I hacked this picture frame too, except I left it black, used Rub 'n Buff in antique gold (looks like gold leaf, kind of) to bring out some of the details, and used it for a collage of stuff I've collected-- postcards, ticket stubs, little funny pictures. Then I used a set of the lights they had around the holidays, woven around the top of the frame, to give it that extra Something Special.
