After working on the mini cards for Friday's post, I got to thinking that a few flowers using Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Bravo Burgundy would look beautiful in a frame. Creating a fresh piece of framed art is a wonderful thing to do. It can brighten up a room, add sweetness and sophistication to a space, and provide you with a chance to put your creativity on display. I love to change out the framed decor regulary...and if you don't yet do this in your home, I hope you'll give it a try!
Here's a closer look at the flowers and sentiment in the frame:
What a wonderful quote from Desmond Tutu - "Do your little bit of good where you are. It's these little bits of good that will overwhelm the world." I'm definitely excited to start using products from the 2013-2014 annual catalog, however, I will say that the Pursuit of Happiness stamp set is the sentiment set that I will miss the most -- I love every stamp in the collection:If you don't yet have Pursuit of Happiness and want to purchase it, you have until June 3rd to order it. The wood mount set is item 121907 and the clear mount is 121970.
Some quick notes about the flowers --
- The texture you see was created using a Fiskars paper crimper.
- The center of the flower was created with the 1-3/8 scallop circle punch and the crimper -- I ran my scallop circle through the crimper a many many times until I could seperate the layers of the card stock. Seperating the card stock made the punch shape very soft and pliable.
- The leaves are a circle that had been embossed with the Honeycomb textured impressions embossing folder and was then folded a couple times.
And, because I want you to see what I mean by changing out my framed art regularly, here are two other projects that have spent time in this frame:
