I'm a fairly new consultant for Close to My Heart, and when I got my New Consultant Kit and free products for signing up to be a consultant with CTMH, it was just like Christmas! One of my most favorite of all papers is the Florentine paper packet (X71538, pg 52 of S/S 2012 Idea Book). I love anything vintage and "shabby", and these papers are my cup of tea! I thought of a quick and easy little project someone could do, just using one of the Florentine papers as a "stand-alone" without hardly any work or time involved. The end product is definitely suitable for framing and makes a great gift.
First, I printed out one of my photos making it sepia colored. If you don't know how to do this, send me a comment and I'll respond. Then I cut it in a circle to fit the middle of the Florentine paper pictured below. Then I used two decorative journal tags cut from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (which you can buy through CTMH on my website, Item No. Z1686, pg. 13 of the S/S Idea Book). I distressed each tag with my cocoa ink, stamped "My Dad" (and yes, that is my dad at age 2!) on the tags, and adhered those to the page using the 3-D Foam. I adhered the photo in the middle circle, and voila! all done!
AND SUITABLE FOR FRAMING with a 12" x 12" frame!
ENJOY THIS SIMPLE AND EASY PROJECT!
