Do you ever craft and actually make something just for yourself, something to keep? I know I don't. So, I had this idea a few days ago to create a "wooden" frame, I did not know what would go inside it but my plan was to incorporate it into a card. Well, today, when I sat down to create the frame, I changed my mind and decided to make something for me. Nothing extravagant, but just a little something to hang on my cork board and admire from time to time. And that's when I decided to add some flowers.
So, here is my first contribution to myself, and to the Botanical challenge:
Ink: Walnut Stain & Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Copic markers; Memento Tuxedo Black
Stamps: PTI (Woodgrain background basics; Butterfly Dreams); Penny Black (Poppies 3949H)
Other: Brads (Recollections); Jute; Dimensional Squares; Stickles
It measures 4" X 4", so it's just a small little frame. The "wooden" frame itself is popped up with dimensionals. I braided some strands of jute in order to be able to hang it. And as I love butterfly stamps I just could not resist adding a little butterfly to the jute.
The frame is actually 4 seperate pieces because I wanted it to look like it was 4 pieces of wood put together.
I hope you like it. And I hope you are having a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for just giving me a wonderful idea. Yes I always make something for someone else. Your take on the challenge is stunning; love the flowers and the butterfly. You really have something gorgeous to look at.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend; if I remember well your husband is coming home. Enjoy being together!
this is wonderful Brenda! if you hadn't describe the process for making this I would have thought that the frame was the real deal and was a wooden frame that you put your image into. so happy to see that you made something for yourself!
Brenda, this is jaw-droppingly beautiful! Wow, those panels look so amazing. What a great flower to showcase in it!
