Funky framed Susans

That reminds me of that song, “Funky cold Medina” by Tone Loc…….

Anyway, I made a card for Jen’s sketch for you to try. She used a Gina K stamp on her example and it inspired me to pull out one of my favorites, my pot of black eyed susans! And I had an idea to use one of the frames from her ‘festive labels’ set. I wanted to make it look like a picture frame, a kind of funky frame. Then I stamped the single black eyed susan onto a tiny oval and matted it on a larger scalloped frame, I really like them. I couldnt fit all 3 onto the card so I have an extra. Im gonna see if I can work it onto a pendant because I would LOVE to wear it!

I decided to use this single word sentiment from My favorite things ‘boho blossoms’ because it fit in the space and I liked the font with the card. Then I colored the 3 antique gold brads a bit with a brown copic to dirty them up a bit.

Tomorrow I should have some soldering done to show you. But first tomorrow ALL my Christmas cards and gifts for out of state are going out in the mail. WOOOOOOHOOOO!!!! It’s 90% DONE!!! I hope your almost done too!
