The four new large Frame stamps from Creative Expressions have been designed with co-ordinating mini frames inside, which can be used separately or as a whole and also swapped with other frame designs in the range. There are also an additional four mini frame designs, plus sentiment sets which have been designed to fit inside the various frames.
One randomly selected person commenting on this blog post before the closing date will win a fabulous prize of some of the new stamp designs.
For my project, I used the Rose Frame stamp design. I stamped the middle section a second time, added the sentiment, and then raised this above the main stamped image. The images were stamped using clear Perfect Medium and then heat embossed using the Cosmic Shimmer Detail Embossing Powder in Bright Gold. I coloured in the flowers and leaves using Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour Paints.
For the base of the card I used some gold card and the Couture Creations embossing folder called Irish Clubs. I added a layer using the Filigree mask with Apple Red Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Paste.
I finished the card with some striped grosgrain ribbon, a small die cut and a decorative vintage button.
