Good Morning everyone! Today, I'm sharing a frame I designed this weekend. One of my co-workers is giving it to his sister for her 40th birthday! What do you give someone who has just about everything? Something sentimental, especially on a "big" birthday is always a sure bet. So, I designed a rustic styled frame by painting the wood frame in espresso, then metallic acrylic paint. I heat embossed the flower images in white embossing powder, then lightly painted over them with the acrylics to get a distressed look. Instead of leaving the frame part blank, I encouraged my co-worker to think of something special so she could use the frame as-is or add a picture later. So I printed the quote and lightly stamped some images on the cardstock.
This is the 'matching' card I designed to go along with the frame. I carried over the pattern paper, embossed images, and buttons. I added her name for personalization and voila!:: My Goodies ::

GAW-JUS!! That is one lucky sister. I don't even think my brother knows when my birthday is. Haha.
