I made this gift for my sister for Valentine's Day. I used a sketch to create a layout on canvas which she can then put into a 12 x 12 shadowbox type frame. The photo is of her and our mom on her wedding day.

I used the Crate Paper Pink Plum collection.


I placed a cake doily behind the photo
Prima flowers with Stickles

Prima bling
Heart-shaped button from my stash
The flowers were originally white and I used Frost and Crème de Rouge Glimmer Mist and Star Dust Stickles to match the colours of the layout. I prefer buying white or clear flowers and bling so I can use mists, sprays or markers to colour them for the project at hand.

I will be giving away a package of Prima "Say it in Pearls" in red and black -- just perfect for Valentine's Day!! Please leave me a comment and I will pick someone at random on Sunday night, February 12.

Prima Say it in Pearls

I hope you enjoyed my project and that it encourages you to think outside the box.
