Country Floral Birthday Card







I had this half piece of paper doily leftover from the previous card I made, 
so I decided to whip up another card to have on hand. 
It's a similar design, just flipped and using different colors/images.

Banner Greetings stamp set - 2013
Gingham wheel - 2013
Linen background stamp - 2006
Blossom paper punch
(I trimmed it to make more petals to be somewhat daisy like,
I should have left it alone)
circle paper punch
Country Floral embossing folder

Crushed Curry, Memento black inks
linen thread

paper doily - from my stash

Families Are Quilts Frame


I'm sharing this project with you today
as my design team project for 
We are a month long anything goes craft challenge
(so long as it is family friendly)
We'd love to see what craft(s) you made this month!


I came across the plastic collage frame (above)
for $2 at the local thrift store.
The glass pieces were missing,
there were a few tiny scuffs on the
black plastic and the back cover was well worn,
but I thought it was worth it.
It had potential.











I started by base coating the frame with a light gray
chalk paint. Once that was dry, I brushed on white
acrylic craft paint. I wasn't going for total coverage
or keeping it nice and neat.
In even did a bit of sanding on some of the raised areas.
I wanted it to look worn, old.








I made my own digital word art to fit the round frame.
I added a small silver paper punched and crimped heart
in the space below the printed words.










A small piece of quilted fabrics was put in another opening.




The fabric was mounted over chipboard with batting in between




                                      Photographs will be added to the remaining three frames.





Thanks for looking, have a great day!
