Meg's Garden "Adore - Family" Frame

Hi there everyone, 

today on the Meg's Garden blog 

I am sharing a project with you all, using the latest paper collection 

"Damask Garden"

designed by Denise Boddey.

I firstly paint this old frame, which I had

in the cupboard, it was all gold, but with

a coat of spray paint and a touch of

off white paint. This old frame has a new shabby chic

appearance.

The papers I used are;

Damask Blue and Cream stripe

Damask Birds & Bees

Damask shades of Green

Damask Blue Belle Jardeniere

 I created some flower

clusters on the bottom, and each side of the frame

and also added touches of diamonte bling and German scrap trims.

All the flowers and trims are all

available from Meg's Garden website.

I used nesting dies 
(Scallopped Rectangle, Victorian Rectangle) 
from Couture Creations,

 to create all the layers shapes,
placing foam tape underneath each diecut shape.

Materials used from Meg's Garden website

here are the links to all the products...take a look!!!!
