My card features three small flowers and a sentiment from Hubby and Wifey. This romantic set is perfect set for engagements, weddings, anniversaries and more!
To create the insert for the frame, I traced the inside and stamped the flowers using the pencil line as a guide. After stamping the sentiment, I trimmed the insert just outside the lines, erased the lines and adhered it to the back of the frame. I cut a piece of vintage seam binding, laid it flat across the back of the frame and looped it through the holes on the sides of the frame twice. On one side, I pulled the binding through the top and on the other, I pulled it through the bottom. Then I trimmed off the excess. Both the frame and the card base were embossed at the start of the project.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to check back here on Saturday to see if you are the lucky winner of Hubby and Wifey!
