Peace





MAKE IT MONDAY #263: BACKGROUND BUILDING WITH FRAMES

Amy Sheffer from the Papertrey Ink design team provided the impetus for today's card. The MIM
challenge focused on using die cut frames in a new way, as a tool for creating a background. 



Amy Sheffer's card


My frame is a wreath die cut from woodgrain paper which was layered on a stitched rectangle panel stamped with silver evergreens and berries. I added portions of two more wreaths for the background and a "Peace" sentiment that coordinates with the wreath. The card is 4.5 x 6" so it can be mailed with a photo for Christmas. Ta Da! one more card for the season.

  2. Vikki, I like how you used woodgrain to cut out your wreaths - it really adds interest to the card. They look great on your Ocean Tides background!
