Hi everyone! It's Yvonne. I am absolutely thrilled to be here today as the Limelight Designer for December! I hope you will enjoy this little project of mine.
I guess it`s no secret that I love my Spellbinders dies, and I thought I`d share with you a simple way to take your dies to the "next level". This frame will show off your favorite image in a beautiful and elegant way, I think.
I used the Nasturtiums set for this card, and colored it with Distress Inks. Here is a little step by step on the frame:
I`ve used Spellbinders Classic Frame. I cut out two white frames and two green ones. I also used the Labels One dies to create the "inner" frame.
Cut the frames as shown on the photo.
Glue the white pieces onto the green pieces as shown. Using a darker color at the back creates a shadow-effect and gives depth to the frame.
Glue the four pieces together as shown.
Attach the Labels one- frame as shown. I sponged the frame lightly with brown ink. Decorate with some Pearls, and your frame is ready to go!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you`ve found some inspiration to how you can frame your favorite images. And I sure hope to see you back here next Sunday!

OK YVONNE,

Yvonne, your artwork is stunning! I purchased this frame just this week! I'll definitely use your tutorial! Thanks!
Oh my this is just fabulous, I love this and can't wait to try it. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
That's pretty cool, Yvonne! Cutting the ends off the Classic Frame was inspired. And I like the green behind the white. Very nicely done. I may have to give this technique a try!
This is a stunningly beautiful card. I love spellbinders and appreciate the tip. I'm always looking for new ways to use them. Now to find the frame. Always seems to be sold out in Canada.
Beautifully done Yvonne

Oh, thank you, thank you! Sheesh! I have this Spellbinders set and may not have even recognized it if you hadn't shown the "how to". Filing this away in my feeble brain. I really hope to give this, or something with this concept, a try. Incredibly gorgeous, Yvonne!
