One of my goals has always been to make more *art* for our home. At one point my husband said he wanted my art to be the only art on our walls. I used to paint watercolor and do pointillism and have a number of pieces up, but since cardmaking started I don't do it as much. But, I'm working on changing that.
On Saturday night my upline Susan invited us to make a beautiful frame similar to one featured on a Stampin' Up! publication. She did one for herself and some for gifts. It was fun to get together and do this with some of her downline.

Isn't it pretty? Really it's just a step by step process. Each little 2 by 2 square has it's own creativity in it...and can be done in your way - and in your own color palette....the hardest part is getting the layout to work so that certain colors/patterns don't touch. 
Isn't it a great showcase of tools and embellishments? I'm really happy with how it turned out.
And if you are in my area...I'm thinking about doing this as a class maybe a mother's day project? Let me know if you're interested! Cost is about $15-$20 for supplies, including the frame.
This is very nice. What a good idea.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Beautifully done! The colors are so fresh.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The quilt look is wonderful, and the plain white frame is perfect for it. I'm also planning some wall art for our home -- just need to find the time away from other projects to get going on it! You've provided another push of inspiration. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteGreat Job on this Christine! I love the colors and the crispness of it. I made a similar one at christmas time using "christmasy "colors and punches,but it did not turn out as well as yours did. I'll have to try another one someday.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Christine, this is SO CLEVER! You did a gorgeous job. TFS your talents with us.
ReplyDeleteWow...you really did a fabulous job on the wonderful piece of art.
ReplyDeleteThe color selection is beautiful. No wonder hubby only wants your artwork in the house
