Paper crafting... ocbrandy style!

        Hi there! I'm posting to show a new project I made with products from Iralamija's store on Etsy! I've always loved her images!  With a 3.5x5 inch image from the I started out with a plain scroll shaped wood frame. With and full size print from the BIG WOOD & FLORAL Images, I traced the frame and cut out the shape. Using Fabri-tac glue, I glued the cardstock down on the frame. When it was dry a lightly sanded the edges of the frame with sandpaper. I LOVE the finished look it gives you.

Quite revolutionary :)      This little gem is loaded with handmade fabric flowers... even hand died flowers made from coffee filters! Check it out HERE on ebay to see more pictures!  The second album is another cutie. I made i...
