I love doing these types of challenges. For my project, I'm sharing this altered 8 x 10 picture frame that I made for a friend of mine who recently turned the Big Four-Oh!
Since 40's a special birthday, I wanted her gift to be clean, simple and went well with her home decor. I originally got this idea from another design team member of mine, Liz at Liz's Paper Loft.
To make this monogrammed frame, I covered a piece of 8 x 10 cardboard with burlap fabric (I heart burlap!) hot glued flowers from Cricut Art Philosophy cut at 4 inches, inked the edges with silver fluid chalk and then added a rhinestone center.
I just loved the way this turned out!
Sadly, this will be my last post as a member of TPV design team....sigh. Abby, Suzanne and the rest of the team were awesome to work and very inspiring. I thank them for pushing me out of my comfort zone to challenge myself to create a variety of projects. Guess that's why there called The Paper Variety, right? You still have until June 8th to apply for the new DT- HERE.
Thanks for looking and linking up with TPV for a chance to win some yummy......
