When the design team was presented this color combo challenge I was excited and immediately knew the direction I wanted to go. Don't you just love it when a project practically creates itself? And then you actually love the outcome--bonus!
I love these CB - Slide Show-Negatives! I painted the frame white and then a happy accident occurred... while adding a sticker to the frame I decided I wanted it in a different place and it took off some of the paint when removed. I really liked that look better and repeated the sticker placing and removing to get a few more rough spots. Yea for happy accidents! :)
I placed two of the same picture in the frames and then in the third frame I added some patterned paper to back it up and embellished a green misted heart button from the CB - Buttons set. Check out the "woodgrain" alpha! It may come as a surprise ;), but I love woodgrain and lots of companies have came out with chipboard alphas that look like wood. How about making your own super cheap? All I did was cover the CB - Vette Alphabet - Upper Case in woodgrain contact paper(adore this classic font). Since contact paper is essentially a big sticker it easily stuck to the chipboard and was a breeze to cut! Then you have the rest of the alpha sheet to do the same or alter another way.
Have fun creating and be share and spread the Buzz and Bloom LOVE ;)
