Yesterday during the Winter Frame class I pulled out an extra frame and set to work on a new design, just for fun! I tried covering it with some card stock and Silver Fancy Foil vellum but didn’t like the way it turned out so I ripped it off. From there I pulled out the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper and got back to work.
I added some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details around the edges and along the edges of the strips of DSP. At that point I decided I needed some flowers . . . . maybe black roses? I went for a punch to use for my black rose . . . and then I saw it . . . a paper, handmade rose I’ve had sitting there for several months . . . just waiting for the perfect project . . .
I carried it over and held it next to the frame and Sherri, working beside me on her Winter Frame, and I both agreed, that was it, the perfect flower for the frame!
I wish this picture did the frame justice! I love it! In fact, I had this sitting on a side table in my kitchen last evening, I walked past it at one point and thought “that’s beautiful!” My second thought was “Oh yeah, I made that!” I love when that happens! When I can walk past a project and have it catch my attention like that, it’s a good one!
Just to prove how lovely the frame is, ask Sherri if didn’t stay a little longer and make a second frame . . . just like this one!
Here’s another shot, but like I said, the pictures really do not do this frame justice! You’ll just have to stop by the StampThat Studio and check it out in person!
I posted a tutorial on how to make a paper rose like this a long time ago, follow the link to view it!
Thank you for stopping by to visit today! It’s the second day of Sale-A-Bration, how exciting is that?!

That is beautiful, Becky! I love the black and white, with that pop of red in your flower! So cool! Of course, being a musician, I instantly noticed the music notes in your DSP! Even though your schedule has been totally rearranged due to the school flood, your creative mind is still working wonderfully!! 🙂

If I had one wish, it would be to visit your studio and just watch you at your creating. The “Modern Medley Picture Frame” is so awesome, I know you put a lot of thought and time into your beautiful creations, and I want to tell you, again, how much I appreciate all of your hard work and for sharing with everyone. Have a good day Becky. Oh, I almost forgot, WE GOT SNOW!!!

The frame is simply gorgeous!

Becky, I had the best time yesterday and I LOVE both frames! I’m glad I was able to make the second one, it will be great to set out year round. Now, I just have to find pictures…
