Here's my creation...
I created this project as a gift. The frame is a simple black one I purchased from my local retailer. I removed the glass and matting and then cut a 5 x 7 piece of card stock. I created a slightly smaller red card stock layer carefully distressing the edges with a distressing tool and ink before adhering to the bottom layer. The final layer (cut 1/4 inch smaller) is DP by Colorbok. I distressed and inked all edges and then crinkled it up, flattened it back out and adhered it to the card stock! (Super way to take our your frustrations... wink, wink) I cut one Square 3 (3 1/2") and another slightly smaller (3 1/4").
I distressed them with ink and before putting them together with dimensional foam stamped a scripture stamp on the top layer. I attached a swath of lace on the card stock base and followed up with a jet pearl flourish. I then placed my sentiment on top with more foam tape. I cut the spiral flowers at 3" and 2 1/2". I took care to roll these up and secured them with hot glue. The leaves are cuts from Storybook. (I ran them through my paper crimper to get texture...) At this point I placed my card base in the frame and glued it in the frame. And finally, I placed my roses, leaves and a few more jet pearls strategically and tied a satin knot bow that I secured to one side! I think this will make an awesome gift for someone!
