Make It Monday #55: Creating Large Frames With Smaller Frame Stamps

This week Dawn McVey did the Make It Monday video on using smaller frames to create the illisuin of a larger frame.  very cool technique but I realized pretty quickly that I don't have too many frames that would be suitable--so more PTI shopping.  LOL

I created a base from Ripe Avocado then added a Spring Moss layer stamped with the large and small outline flower with Spring Moss ink.  The focal panel was stamped twice with Fillable Frames #11.  I die cut the bottom with the pinking die and it left a line just above that actually looks like I scored it on purpose (cool). To hide my deception I die cut and stamped a small banner in Summer Sunrise and three large flowers from Flower Fusion.  They were adhered with my dot adhesive but the Raspberry Fizz flower was adhered with a foam square.  The whole panel was attached to the card base with foam squares.

colourQ Challenge #124

This weeks colourQ pallete had my stumped.  I'm not sure if it is the amount of grey days we have had since Christmas or that my creative mojo was on holidays.  I couldn't wrap my head around it and was running out of time.  Friday night I started sketching some ideas, and when I went to start creating not one of them was going to work for me.  Then it hit me, I rearranged a few of my colours and it came together so easily.  The finished card put a smile on my face and now I have an encouragement card to pass on to someone who needs some.
