A few months ago...i found this metal frame at a shop here in the UK called Dunelm...it was only £3.99, it had a paper picture of a chicken on it, but i just loved the frame...the gorgeous scrolls at the top.
It has taken me this long to think of what to do with it...it has sat on my desk...haunting me...but i couldnt think of anything...last nite...bang...the idea came to me...so here we go ( i forgot to take a picture of it without decoration on it..sorry)
Okay so i started with a square of Basic Grey basics paper...cornered the edges and adhered...
I then added a strip of brown spotty paper across the top...
I have acquired a new punch ( it is used for the Papermaze classes) and it is one that i have wanted for ages...so i used this and cut out a strip...using white card.
and added it so it just poked out the bottom of the brown strip....
I then added a big Jenni Bowlin card...with a butterfly clip, clipped on the top of it...
Here are the butterflies that i used on this project.
To add the bingo card i added lots of dimensional tape on the back as the clip lifted it up fairly high...i also added a strip of the same punch across the bottom.
Here is the frame so far...
I then added some photos of me!!!! and a green pattern paper butterfly, the pattern paper for this was Echo Park.
I then added another butterfly on top of this one and the word me...
I then added a ghost flower and a brown circle...
I then added some sequins...ohhhh i am loving sequins at the moment!!! across the bottom of the card...
and the frame is done!

And now some close ups...
it is a bit embarrassing to have my picture with adore on it...lol but it was the only bingo card i had!!! lol...

You shouldn't be embarrassed of your picture, Wendy! It's beautiful and so is the frame - it ROCKS.
Can only say the same you shouldn't be embarrased of your picture it's beautiful and so is that frame it sure rocks. I have the same problem I see things to alter and buy them and then they are laying around waiting and waiting.......
I "adore" it. Great job! TFS

With the clip on the butterfly, it sort of says "I adore me". That's a good message, I think! You really SHOULD adore yourself because you're amazing, and so is this. :D
What fun ....love it.
This looks gorgeous !!!!! Great project !!!!
