The base
pennant-shaped cutout is found on page 76 (Photo Mat 2), cut at 9.5" Real Dial Size to fit the frame perfectly.
This sweet frame just melts my heart. I love how the border from page 40
of the Artbooking booklet matches the pink herringbone-patterned paper.
What I love about the Artbooking cartridge is that the
elements are so adaptable. You can mix and match sentiments and shapes from
different keys—for example, the “sweet” and the “girl” titles together—to
create a seamlessly harmonious piece of art.
Inside the frame, you can see some great elements also. With
Circuit Craft Room®, you can use the “hide contour” button to hide
the sentiments on the pennants from page 40, leaving you these little pennants
that you can label yourself. I also love that adorable paper clip found on page
47 of the Artbooking booklet. Paired with an acrylic flower from the Ivy Lane
assortment, it’s the perfect accent to that precious photo.
If your sweet girl isn’t quite so girly, this kind
of color palette is the perfect solution. With more of an outdoorsy feel, these
colors and elements are still elegant and feminine with the shapes from the
Artbooking cartridge. With the lacy, doily-like stamps and prints, and the paper
rosette, it’s just enough to offset the masculine feel of the woodgrain base
color.
I love this border! Using the border on page 47 of the
Artbooking cartridge, the artist first used just a plain border straight across
the frame. For the top lace border, she used two border cutouts attached
together and pleated with a bone folder to make it really stand out. So lovely!
The great thing about the snowflake overlay on page 76 is
that the negative space is lots of little snowflakes, all in various sizes. Or
you can choose to cut out the individual snowflakes to get the exact size you
need.
I love how the artist has layered these two snowflakes to
give it more dimension. And you can see how she used just a few drops of white
re-inker to add some fun snow detail. The silver and pink sparkles throughout
the frame really help tie those little elements all together.
