Create With Stamping Friends-Inspiration Monday 443

Phrases & Frames!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a photo with lots & lots of colorful frames:

The Phrases & Frames Dies, Everyday Arches Dies and Sweet Words & Labels Dies worked so well for my card to replicate the frames. I used different dies for the shapes and glued Velvet Meadow Designer Paper on the inside or back of each one:

Each of the diecut frames include some pretty dry-embossed areas and I think the tiny diecut hearts are so pretty on the Basic Gray frame:
