'Framed'

I've finished at last! Here are the four seasons tags mounted in the MDF frame. It was areal hard decision to choose the colour for the frame. I really wanted to get away from black, but after trying loads of colours, decided black was the best choice due to the variety of colours I had already used.




I used Jo Sonja acrylcs again, they are not cheap, but they are brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!! Tracey has some at her shop , Running With Scissors. I added texture to the back of the frame and dry brushed it with Gold, again Jo Sonja, then simply stamped around the frame itself. It's been fun doing this project, which seemed to evolve from nowhere, but it's Mother's Day soon, so must get a couple of cards done. Something quick, flowery, pink, pretty, not at all my thing, but as it's over four years since I made a Mother's Day card, anything will be a surprise to them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I think black was the perfect choice to set off those beautiful tags, the textured background is stunning, I am so happy you are now enjoying your crafting time and getting the chance to make cards for your loved ones once again, I always think back to the one you made for your nanna and how special it was to her and you, knowing how much she treasured it, I look forward to seeing your 'girlie' creations XXX
