Another week has quickly gone by and here we are with this week's challenge, Make It Monday #263: Background Building With Frames, where Amy Sheffer shows us how to use frame dies to create a different looking background.
I started with a white card base, and using a make up brush, applied Aqua Mist ink to the background. Next, I stamped the pine boughs around the edges in Spring Moss ink and the little berries in Pink Peony ink. Do you like this non-traditional color combo? I have to give full credit to Melissa Phillips who suggested it on the PTI Forum. Thanks Melissa!
I already had a bunch of Keep It Simple frames cut and placed three on the card, staggering them a bit. The doves are die-cut (three times and stacked) in white cardstock and stamped with Pale Peony ink. Peace is die-cut with Luxe Gold foil paper and the sentiment stamped in Smokey Shadow ink.
To bring out more of the gold, I tied gold cording around the top and added a little gold star to the doves. I have to remember to use my frames like this again in the future!
