Make it Monday #139 and Dynamic Duos #77

Stamped Square Frames - that is the theme at this week's Make it Monday. The talented Dawn shows in a video how to do that. Its easy and quick and the result is fabulous - I think! 

I don't really have a border stamp from PTI, so I improvised - part of the fun!



I took the sentiment from the Papertrey set Cutting Garden and used it as a frame. The dies are also Papertrey  - Beautiful Blooms. The one with the ink on it was a leftover from some project I can't even remember. (You know what that means.......) - it goes into the Snippets Playground!


I added a silver paper candy in the center, which I colored with Copic. That works just fine and you don't need to buy them in all different colors. I mounted the white cardstock on a red card. 

I chose the colors to fit this weeks Dynamic Duos Challenge
and I am also linking this up with Seize the Birthday - anything goes



Thank you for visiting my blog - I appreciate you taking the time - especially when you leave comments ;) 

I do LOVE those! (Who doesn't!)

This a fantastic technique! I love the look of the "framed" sentiment. Your embellishments are just perfect, too, the bright flower and glowing gem in the middle. Thanks for linking up with Dynamic Duos this week!

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
