Hi everyone! I want to share a project I created for an upcoming design team call for Gwen Studios.
Truth be told I started this project about four years ago…yep I pulled this from the pile of unfinished projects that I have pushed off to the side in my craft room. In the photo below this is where I had stopped with this frame. I had used a mat board frame that I covered with patterned cardstock, created a shallow shadow box with the Make It 3D Diecut (retired), add Medallion Diecuts (retired), the photo and trim.
Since my son and daughter in law’s wedding anniversary is coming up I thought this would be a great time to finish this and give it to them as a gift. I did cut out the Mr and Mrs sentiment and the Mandala Thinlit and add to the side of the frame.
I used the 3/8″ Black Satin Ribbon by Gwen Studios to create two bows.
I adhered the single bow to the top corner of the frame and added a flower, pearl sprig and a scrap of lace.
The larger bow I glued to the bottom corner of the frame and finished with flowers and pearl sprigs. Don’t you think the flowers “pops” against the black ribbon?
I think the frame will look perfect in my son and daughter in law’s house since it has a farmhouse vibe going on.
If you are looking for a different color of ribbon you can find that at Walmart.com along with patches and fabric. Also if you have any questions about this project please let me know.
