Framing Your Loves: Family, Friends, and Ribbon!

Hi everyone!

When I received this month's Glue Art & Paper Design Team project I got so excited for two reasons. First - this project marks the addition of Jen del Muro to our Design Team! I can't wait to work with this amazingly talented lady :) Second - this tray is full of possibilities! I decided to add a backing to hang it on my wall and turn it into a frame filled with things I love - family, friends, ribbon, and flowers.

I first painted the frame with Delta Ceramcoat Seashell White, a barely off white acrylic paint. Pearl Finish, a sheer wash of shimmering white, was next to add a bit of warmth and subtle shimmer. The 2 3/4" inner squares were painted with Antique White, which to me is actually a very pale yellow.

I wove the various Stampin' Up!, May Arts and Offray ribbons in a braid type pattern on a piece of cardstock and folded it into the top right square for a "pillow" effect.

My Friends square uses Making Memories Fifth Avenue Sophia chipboard stickers as well as Prima flowers and butterfly crystal.

The crystal in the center of the Prima is a Swarovski.

I love the depth of the squares in the frame - they allow for so much shadow box fun.

The Family square also uses Making Memories Fifth Avenue Sophia chipboard stickers (the wreath and sentiment) and an opaque Say It In Crystals black flower.

I added a smaller Swarovski crystal in the center.

The final square uses Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste Black Chipboard flowers.

It is difficult to see but I used a square of green tulle fabric embedded with glitter as well. Water Dew Drops and a Prima Say It In Crystals black and white crystal sticker adorn the flower centers.

I hope you like my project. Be sure to check out what the other Design Team members have made! See you tomorrow.
