Mothers Day page




I have been experimenting with some scrapbook challenges over the last week and I was fortunate to have taken some lovely photos on Mothers Day that I could use in my pages.

The Challenge undertaken for this page was the stamped and stitched frame.
The technique is pretty easy;  mask off the centre of the page and stamp around the edge of the mask with a variety of smallish stamps in various colours to create the frame, when the mask is removed.

For this frame I used the Delicate doileys stamp set, the Always stamp set and the For Everything stamp set.
The sample page was originally white but my photo leant more to a vintage colour so I used Blushing Bride cardstock.

To finish the frame, I stitched around the inside edge with Bakers twine.  I used my pokey tool to prepare the holes before stitching....a basic backstitch.  It was a bit time consuming but a very rewarding result - I love it!

I hope you can give it a go.
