Jacksonbelle Tuesday……a basic frame

May 12th, 2008

I hope everyone has had a great Monday and start to your week! I ended up without any appointments today, which is a rare thing and played all day at home. Ava and I painted with my watercolors and stamps this afternoon and she just had so much fun.

This week’s Jacksonbelle’s challenge was to use Basic Grey. So I made a desk picture frame with Sugared paper and the Grow a Garden stamp set.

I’m probably breaking some kind of alterable rule about posting a frame without pictures but I don’t know which photo’s to put in. Or really, who I’m giving it to may want to put different pictures on it then I would. Each side is 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall and the back side is finished with a coordinating paper and similar scallop edge. It’s a great desk size and will allow a lot of different sized pictures.

I stamped the butterflies in tea stain ink and a flower bunch in antique linen on top of them for depth. Added to it are some felt flowers, buttons and a few rhinestones. The metal rings that connect both pieces are very sturdy and the frames stand nicely on their own, I almost wish I worked at an office so I could have one…….almost.

Be sure to check out the other design team’s blogs for their take on the challenge, you can find them below! Oh and while you are peeking around, take a look at Jacksonbelle at the over 100 new Inkadinkado stamps!!!

    I LOVE how you created this frame! Great colors and the flowers and button are wonderful! I like seeing it without pictures, because that way I can visualize my own photos on it!
