TIOT: FRAME IT!!!!

This is my 4th post for today, phew!! Be sure to scroll down to see this week's Paper Pretties Toonie Tuesday deal, the Little Paper Shop birthday challenge and my Jacksonbelle Tuesday challenge card!


Welcome to this week's SCACD Try It Out Tuesday challenge! The challenge this week is to make a frame on your card. The frame can be flowers, bling, buttons or just about anything else you can think of...EXCEPT paper!
We'd love for you to play along. If you do, be sure to let us know!

For my card I inked up my "New Friends" stamp from the recent Elizabeth Bell sampler #3 release. You can purchase the Elizabeth Bell images individually or you can buy the entire sampler #3 collection at an incredible discount! My main image is stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers. I couldn't resist using some Basic Grey Origins designer paper (I think it is my favorite Basic Grey line EVER!) as well as some gorgeous Prima flowers. I used one of the new Copic multiliner pens to draw in the ground under my image. I also added a little glitter to my image to give it a tiny bit of sparkle.

Susana has added TONS of fabulous new products to her store...including Our Craft Lounge Stamps, Zva Creative, Copic Multiliners, Kraftin Kimmie stamps, Pink Paislee and lots more! Also, if you been dying to try the new Viva Decor pens... Susana has tons in stock including the Viva glitter holographic liner pens! She also has links to some fabulous tutorials for the Viva Decor pens right in the store listings!

Be sure to check out the blogs of the rest of the incredibly talented SCACD design team members for more frame-it inspiration!
