Framed Art by Amanda Baldwin

#couturecreationsaus

Hello again, my creative friends!

Welcome back for more Couture Creations inspiration!
Amanda here, sharing a gorgeous lil off-the-page number....


Isn't this such a pretty wall frame?!!
And, like most of my creations, it is super easy to make
(yes, another lazy crafter moment!)
Let's do it!

You will need a rustic or shabby frame for this creation
(mine was a cheap $3 canvas frame that I removed the canvas from,
I just gave a few coats of watered down white gesso to add to it)


You'll also need these fabulous dies cut & ready to go....
& Vintage Rose Intricutz Die: Cuckoo Clock in kraft & black cardstock.


Start by adhering the vintage borders and daisy doily, as shown above.


Embellish doily with flowers and butterflies.


Attach cuckoo clock, and embellish with bird and nest. 
For a more finished look, add a pearl to the clockface centre.


Add pearls to the butterflies also (to soften the harshness of the frame).
Cut out a sentiment from the Vintage Rose Garden paper collection
and attach to the doily cluster. 

And you're done! 
Yes, a beautiful shabby frame in only 5 simple steps!
Those fantastic dies really do make the frame!


Thanks for joining me today,
I really hope you liked this "Naked Canvas" creation!
