First Edition Frame

I am really excited about this frame!  It turned out pretty neat I think.  Here's a picture:


I also wanted to show a close up of the paper.  I layered it, and so up close it has a different effect:


I also wanted to show a close up of the distressed vintage flowers that I added.  Stay tuned, because I am posting a tutorial on how to make these!


Here is the final product one more time:

    1. Hi CeCe. Thank so much for your comment. I decided with this post not to do a step by step tutorial, but I would be happy to tell you how I did it. First I cut strips of the First Edition Designer Series Paper and glued it all over the frame. I did this in a variety of lengths and widths to make it more visually interesting. Then I made those cute little vintage flowers and attached them to the frame. (I do have a tutorial on that) and then I added some embellishments. If you have any more questions let me know! Thanks so much for stopping by today.
