Happy Wednesday!
It's time for some more inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!
This week I have an unfinished wood frame I bought at Michaels that I altered with designer papers and stamps (old and new ones). The main part of the frame has one of the designer paper images with the birdhouse in the bottom right corner. I used Mod Podge to glue it to the frame and cut the paper for the opening and and trimmed the outside. Then I just added a bunch of embellishments to it...you can add as much or as little as you want! This was actually fun to make and would make a nice gift for someone! Some of the embellishments I used are "leftovers" from other projects that I saved. If you click on the picture, you get a better view of the details on it. Also, complete instructions are at the end of the post.
Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the Designer's gorgeous creations this week along with instructions of how they created them!
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday #47 - use Scripture or uplifting sentiments.
Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge #158 - include something handmade.
I hope this gives you some inspiration and gift ideas!
Blessings!
Kathy
