Family Frame

I have really wanted to 'branch out' into Home Decor - not my strong suit, and nothing I am too familiar with. But I am so inspired by fellow crafter's blogs and posts that I thought I would try something! I used the following:

8 x 10 picture frame, glass removed

Cardstock from stash

Sweet Leaf (CTMH) Carstock

CTMH Topiary Ink

CTMH Sweet Leaf Ink

CTMH Wings paper

CTMH Opaques

Cricut Art Nouveau Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (CTMH)

Cricut Damask Decor

Cricut Storybook

Cricut Gypsy Font

CTMH Dimensionals

CTMH Flax - Sorbet

Spellbinders

Martha Stewart punch

My Pink Stamper Stamps

I began with the flower vine from Art Nouveau and built from there, layering like crazy and using pop dots. I still wasn't quite satisfied so I added some cut and embossed Spellbinders flowers and punched the side base paper with a Martha Stewart punch. I used various My Pink Stamper stamps to stamp "Treasure", "Scripture Power" and "Heart & Soul".

NOW YOU DO IT!

Flower Pedestal Card

After I made my Dad a pedestal card I decided to make my mom one, too! I was inspired by a photo my then 4 year old took of her last summer! I printed it coloured and then changed my mind and reprinted it black and white. I used the 'Wings' paper pack from CTMH.

These stamp sets are exquisite. I used D1409, "Flower Pot" and D1472 "Simple Memories". I wanted to colour the Flower Pot images but use the Simple Memories to texture the background paper. 

I heat embossed the images and was STUNNED at how well they turned out. I honestly can't believe the detail that showed up! How fun!

What I love about my Copics is the ability to perfectly match any project. Wow. I used pope dots here, too. Me and pop dots are best friends. 

NOW YOU DO IT!
