The challenge this week at the The Paper Variety is to link up any project other than a card or layout. So bring on those fun altered items!!I love doing these types of challenges. For my project, I’m sharing this altered 8 x 10 Burlap and Flower Monogram Frame that I made for a friend of mine who recently turned the Big Four-O!
Burlap and Flower Monogram Frame
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 <3 burlap!) hot glued flowers from Cricut Flower Shoppe cut at 4 inches, inked the edges with silver fluid chalk and then added a rhinestone center.
Love, love the I way this gift turned out! Such a simple and elegant gift to give too.
