Today I am sharing a piece of framed art that is easy to create and could take on almost any feel you like depending on your choices of paper, ink, and stamps! My project has been created using some upcoming Sale-a-bration items (everyone loves a sneak peek, right?) as well as some "staples" from the annual catalog.
You may be stopping by for the first time from Stampin' Pretty, the blog of Mary Fish. Thank you to Mary for having me today! I'm delighted to be a part of Mary's week long "Stampin' with the Stars" series...what incredible creations that we've seen so far! Mine is the first (and perhaps the last) home decor project to be featured.
I love creating and sharing home decor projects and I particularly love framed art. Why? Because it allows me to:
- Incorporate a variety of papercrafting techniques
- Change out the project easily and with little expense when I want a new look
Also, picture frames are pretty easy to come by here in the USA and you can often find great deals on frames at antique stores, flea markets, and retailers such as Target and Home Goods. I never buy mine at full price.
You saw the finished product above and now you can see what was in the frame when I got started:
This project is almost 2 years old and the "p" had long since fallen down...clearly it was time for a change!
And here is a look at my creative process:
I played around a bunch with "brick" sizes and spacing in between and a sheet of grid paper was perfect for doing so. Now that I have done all the figuring, you get to skip this step!
Take another look at the final framed art that I created:
