Peace

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week is a Designer's Choice Challenge and Laurie has chosen: Frame It

And here is the card I created:
I started with the Marquee frame embossed in with a gold tinsel embossing powder and stamped the Peace sentiment in the middle in a dark brown.  At first, I had stamped, colored and fussy cut just the two pinecones and the bow on the left side, but it seemed to need a little something more, so I added a third pinecone.  I think it definitely helps to balance things out.  The pinecones gave it a rustic feel, so I chose some paper to match and matted that with gold glitter paper to match the embossed frame.  And then I added some gold eyelets (yes, they still exist!  At least in my stash!)

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

    The third pine cone certainly balanced this beautiful card. And love the word Peace frames out. Very pretty.

    Lovely card, Heather and great way to use a frame. I am chuckling at the sight of those eyelets. It always reminds me of when Donna Downy made a mini album and on one of the pages added some eyelets. But then afterwards noticed she had placed one of the eyelets on her son's private parts in a photo on the back of the or next page. OOPS! Yes, she published it anyway and said "I'm bringing eyelets back, Baby!" LOLOL That would be quite a feat were she really have been able to do that. Lord knows we all have our weight in them in our stash, right? xoxo
