Limberlost Project

When I took a photo of my project that we’ll be making up at Limberlost this weekend, the black frame didn’t turn out, so I cropped the picture to show you what the image inside it will look like.
I started with a frame from the dollar store, removed the glass and used the particleboard backing as my template cutting out a rectangle from textured paper. The stamp I chose is one from Catherine Moore’s French Laundry series, which I ordered from Jennifer Pearson Vanier.
I stamped on patterned scrapbooking paper, glued it on thin foam and then cut the image out so it would look dimensional. To finish everything off, I added more scrapbooking paper, chirogami, a postage stamp and flower, and a piece of Mary’s lace along the bottom.

Framing stamped images is something I’ve been planning to experiment with for a while, and I really enjoyed putting this prototype together. Hopefully my stamping buddies will have fun with the project too.
