Anyhow, while adding to the bits box I came across this frame which was inside a card, I think it had had a photo of one of the children taken with Santa one Christmas time- and it just happened to almost fit this floral frame that I'd found on the internet, so I've fussy cut the top and bottom and just right!
To soften the grey frame I lightly blended Victorian Velvet around the edges. I made a base card with Tattered Rose and stamped one of the Ornate Trims as a frame with Stormy Sky. My two 'little friends' were attached with 3D tape and I triple embossed the sentiment with Clear EP. I've cut and coloured some wildflowers and attached a stamped butterfly.
I suppose I did tidy up - that's two things used out of the bits box!
Thanks for calling in,

Great recycling Avril or is it upcycling, I'm never sure which is which, the pretty pink flowers compliment the little girls so nicely.

Beautiful, Avril... love your stamped border, which finishes it off nicely. The flowers look great and everything works so well together. Gorgeous little girls :-)
That's my idea of tidying up, lol - it occasionally happens but I always happen upon something I really have to play with and do something with...

What a beautiful project! I love the frames that you used and the bright colours against the grey looks so elegant - I love it 😁. We have had sunshine on and off today, it's quite windy now though and rain in forecast tomorrow monring. I had to smile when you said tidy up as I went to do some art journalling today and as I didn't have a lot of time I ended up tidying up instead ...lol 😉. Wishing you a wonderful week! J 😊 x

You have created a beautiful vintage style frame here. Ok so two less in the bits box is better than none or two added to it! Hugs Mrs A.
I had a good zoom in to look at the details close up - such pretty flowers - its really beautiful Avril.
You should be warmer next week I think as its suppose to be getting hotter. I did think oh when I heard that as we had it warm this week here and one night it was so hot we stayed downstairs until it cooled down - which was about 3am :(
have a lovely weekend.
