Now....on to my project....I hope you'll feel inspiration to join this challenge! And don't forget to follow the blogs below to check out their projects for more inspiration!

For my project I used My Besties #4 with the Graciellie Design03 (Summer Joy), 2-toned digital print. She was so fun to do! And the paper was perfect for my project! First off, I had a mat that was for a picture frame I had taken from an actual frame. I wanted to use it to put into another frame, but never did. When I saw the Summer Joy paper, I thought how perfect it would be as a cover for this mat! So I printed it out on an 8 1/2" x 11" white cardstock, I adhered it to the frame mat and trimmed it so I'd have the 4x6 opening for my little angel.

My next step was to get to work on my angel. I used the new Prima Watercolor Pencils to color her and Wink of Stella clear Brush Tip Pen. The yellow flower in the top left corner, I made from a scallop punch and distressed it's edges. Do you see the gold butterfly? It's actually a wooden one that I had embossed with Gold Ranger Embossing Powder.

To make a long story short, I took a piece of chipboard and added it to the back of the frame with foam squares so the whole piece will have a dimensional look to it. Oh! One more thing...do you see the tiny beads around the wings of the angels? They're from Renea Bouquets Etsy Shop.....she makes these!

I hope you found this piece inspiring....I can't wait to see what you do! Thanks for stopping by! And don't forget about the BLOG HOP links below!
