Crafty Collaborations Frames Blog Hop

Good morning friends! Today, the Crafty Collaborations Crew are bringing you a fun blog hop featuring "FRAMES".  This one is gonna be really interesting, because there are so many different ways a person could interpret the theme.  I can't wait for you to see all the terrific projects we have to share with you! 

My project is a card with a collage feel to it.  I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to create the Gilded Frame you see in the background. By using the 3rd and 5th largest of the dies, I was able to create a nice thick frame. 

To create this card, you'll need: 

* 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4") Merry Merlot Cardstock Card Base

* (2) 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" Petal Pink Cardstock for layer 1 and inside layer 1

* 4" x 5 1/4" Mossy Meadow Cardstock (embossed with Fern 3D Embossing Folder) for layer 2

* 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla Cardstock for inside layer 2

* 3 1/8" x 4 1/4" Distressed Gold Specialty Paper (die cut for frame)

* Scraps of Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot, Petal Pink, and Very Vanilla Cardstocks for die cutting and stamping/die cutting

* Genial Gems

After attaching the Petal Pink layers to the front and inside of the card, I attached the Mossy Meadow layer to the front.  The embossed ferns look so pretty as a background to this card. 

Initially, I had planned to only use the outer frame that I had die cut, but I really liked the way it looked layered at an angle like this. So I used both pieces. 

I cut a greenery frame from Mossy Meadow cardstock and glued it directly over top of the Gold Frames. 

Merry Merlot Ink was used to stamp the floral sprigs. Mossy Meadow was used to stamp the fern leaves.  Once everything was stamped and die cut out, I started working to layer and stack all the sprigs onto the card front.  Most of them are glued directly to the front, but I did pop up the two stamped Merry Merlot sprigs. 

I heat embossed the sentiment onto the die cut label piece, then attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

The final step was to add a few Genial Gems to the card. I think that little bit of glimmer really added something nice to the card!
