Found two frames at Michele's during our weekend trip to Watertown in the sale stuff and it reminded me I had wanted to jump on making a couple more. I knew my friend had her new baby and hadn't even sent a card! So, I knew I had to make something fun for her.
After drying, I added some Tim Holtz tape, stenciled a little florish on with StazOn Ink and outlined that florish with a black pen. I also used Shimmer Modge Podge over the tape, photo, and doily.
I wanted to go through the process behind how I made these a bit, in case you are interested.
First I started with two blank canvases. I added gesso with a scraper so I could get some dimension and let it dry. Then I sprayed two different colors of glimmermist and again, let it dry. You need to allow yourself enough drying time so you're not working on a wet canvase.

Then I hot glued some flowers and some Stampin' Up Vanilla Seam Binding that I sprayed with glimmermist. Also inked over the edges of the doily with some CTMH ink.
I didn't go too crazy, Teri likes things more simple. This might be a bit too girlie for her, but hey, she has an office she can always hang them in!
