This was a very cheap and very plain photo frame I got from Ikea. I added my words with grungeboard letters - covered it with foil tape and used my Ten Second Studio tools to emboss it. I then used my wheel tool to add a bit of pattern. I covered it all in black gesso and let it dry off for about ten minutes before wiping most of it off with kitchen roll. I finished off by buffing it up with a soft duster.
This is my piece for the Tuesday Taggers challenge

Hi Hilda, so simple yet so effective. Ikea is a mecca for altered artist, don't you think?
