Anything BUT a Card

A few weeks ago I had a basement full of ladies and we were making photo frames! It was a fun time. We were not intending to stamp on the frames (well I was) but once I started this frame everybody else wanted to try it too. So I got pushed out of the way and have not yet completed my two other frames. They are coming, I promise. So this frame is made of MDF and it is 18" X 18". The opening is 5" X 7". I painted it a color called Plum (by Folkart, maybe...) and heat embossed Upsy Daisy in white. Then I used my cuttlebug and Martha Stewart punch make some acetate butterflies, I stamped them with white to help them stand out a bit. I glued the butterflies down with Crystal Effects and gave them pearl bodies.
This will house a photo of DD, I also have one in the works for DS and another that is waiting to be the home of our family photo.
