Graphic 45 Easter Frame

Dear scrappers,

I'm trying to catch up with some projects I did lately and haven't shared with you yet.
I have tried to post this since a while, but finally I had to re-install BloPress in my iPad... And still can't access my picture libraries... No cool...
Oh my, after so many times trying to post from my iPad, I finally gave up and I'm trying to post from my surface computer...

Here is a Sweet Sentiment Easter Frame that I did for for a class in April.

 I started with this more flat version of a 3 spaces wooden frame I found a while ago at Walmart.
 And did some new ones using this 3 spaces with hinges frame I bought at Michaels.

 I used the back of the frame and painted it with creme acrylic paints and distressed it out with Mustard seed ink (Ranger).
I added pieces of the Graphic 45 paper and heat embossed some stamped borders directly to the frame and distressed it with twilight ink.
 I used some packing cardboard and peeled off one side to use as grass. I added some inks, and paints, to a plastic plate and spritzed water to blend it the colors, then just dipped the fussy cut "grass" pieces.
At the end, I distressed the whole frame with different glitter glues and stamped the edges of the frame using twilight ink (CTMH). Stamps used were from Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments.
I added some eggs washi tape to cardstock and cut around the eggs to use as embellishments.

Here is some closeups from the final frames.

BTW, I am entering this project to the Simon Says Stamp Blog's monday challenge: love-of-plants
I am displaying in these frames different acrylic flowers, glitter distressed flowers, and many vines...

I will be posting every day some of my accumulated work during the next few days...
I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to follow my blog and leave some comments,
Have a very blessed day,

Vicky Tovar

  2. What an absolutely lovely creation you've made! It's filled with so many wonderful Spring things and the dimension and texture and layers you created are really amazing. I also love the color palette, which is bright and energetic, but also soft and pastel enough to remind me of Easter. I thought the fringe grass was an especially clever touch and I like how the whole thing is a scene that I'd love to step into. You did a great job on this and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
