Frame and Painting

This frame was made using scrapbook paper and mod podge, a scrap of brocade ribbon and a small rustic heart.

This is my most recent painting, done especially for my bedroom. I used a palette knife for the background texture and a tool that pulls away paint - looks like a chiseled eraser - to draw the flowers. It is matted on linen board. I am still looking for the right frame for it.
