Thursday Rummage Bin Nights: Week #1 The Art of Framing

I have decided to make Thursday nights, Rummage Bin nights. It is where I will go back to my very first sets that were released in January and work my way up to the new sets/stamps and have a little project to share with you each week. A special thanks to the folks at Cornish Heritage Farms for believing in me and giving me a shot at designing!

WEEK #1: The Art of Framing

Concept Behind the Set: This set was designed so that you could stamp your frame, and then your sentiment within. And of course, you can use the words on their own. I also was able to add little images and those are what I am showing you tonight, how to use those little stamps. The quarter circle in the bottom left corner can come poking out behind pictures, be stamped in a corner, or be stamped 4 times to make a circle. In the card below, I stamped it 3 times, to come peeking out behind my Grungeboard heart. There is also that itty bitty stamp, which I stamped across the aqua paper for more interest.
