Did you just arrive here from Melissa Stout’s blog?  Isn’t her work amazing?  If you didn’t come from her blog, then you may have just stumbled into a blog hop for the ten Artisan finalists who were not selected for the Artisan design team.  Welcome!  We’re showcasing the ten projects that we submitted for the contest.

This post shows one of the 3-D items I made.  I bought a plain 12×12 photo frame from a big box store, and painted it white.  I then attached a sheet of designer series paper and then proceeded to embellish, and embellish, and embellish… Well, you get the idea.

I used my Big Shot for a lot of the flower dies, as well as punches.  Here’s a close-up picture of the banner:

And here’s a close-up picture of some of the flowers:

There were a lot of fun details on this project.

Now it’s time to hop on over to Sandie Conner’s blog so you can see her amazing project and continue on the blog hop.

Thanks for stopping by!
