Father's Day Gift Idea

Father's Day is fast approaching and so I made this gift for my husband to hang in his office. The pictures are of our kids and I have embellished the rectangle openings with Petaloo flowers and Authentique papers.

I love how the simple repitition of a certain element is so powerful. In a couple of the openings I put two or three Petaloo flowers in a row. Simple but beautiful!

I also got some Petaloo chipboard pieces out and inked them up with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks. They really take the color well and added some fun interest as well as dimension.

The Authentique paper had some great phrases on one of the papers so I was able to cut them up and place them in key places.

The corner punch outs really gave the frame a finished look.

I know that the kids will be thrilled with the gift as well as my husband who is truly one of the best dads in the world.

WOW! Christine, This is SIMPLY STUNNING. You make it sound so Easy but I think there is so much more to it to look at Anyway. I LOVE the Products you have used and you have made it in such a way that each little Section of The Frame is A Stand Out All On It's Own. So Inspirational. I LOVE Everything about this. Great Project.Many Thanks.....
