Less is More #321 - Recipe - Use A Frame

It's a great theme over at Less is more this week - 'Use A Frame'.

Had a thought right away about a card design and this was the result:
I used:

 - 4.25" x 5.5" white card blank, tent style

 - then I die cut two matching sets of frames using Impression Obsession's 'Rectangle 6 in 1 Frames' and white card stock

 - rootled through my collection of Penny Black Stickeroos until I found one that fitted nicely inside the frame I had in mind

 - glued the two matching frames together, back to back, for dimension

 - stuck the chosen Stickeroo (from the 'Language of Flowers' sheet) onto a snippet of white card and trimmed it to just a teensy bit smaller than the outer edge of the frame

 - glued the frame on top of the Stickeroo flower image

 - then, before adding the image to the card, I used the Misti to line up the image and a sentiment as I wanted them

 - stamped the sentiment using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink and a stamp from the Hero Arts 'Love Life' sentiments set. This is the replacement set for the one I was whining over the other week when a favourite sentiment went kaput - took a lot of tracking down but worth all the searching!

 - finally, glued the framed image onto the card front and called it done

I do love the set of frames you get from this die, and it's really worth the effort of cutting a second for added dimension too.

    This is absolutely fabulous Di, what a gorgeous frame and a really lovely image, very classy card.
    I have loads of dies but my images never seem to fit them, or the dies don't fit my images, same thing but so very annoying.

    This is a wonderful card. I really like the double thickness for the frame...makes all the difference to the depth and the look of the frame!
    Great use of a Stickeroo.

    This is a winner in my book, Di! I love it so much that the frames are now on my wish list. Not too long ago I ordered wonky frames because of you and now I'll order these frames b/c of you. Isn't that funny? You're my Frame Lady! But, seriously, I'm serious. I have a bunch of those PB stickers and just stare at them hoping for new inspiration and you've given me that! Thank you!!!!!!!!! Hugs, Darnell
