The current challenge at Seize the Birthday is: Seize the Birthday #306-Use a Frame. This napkin image is one I’ve had for quite some time glued to a piece of CS and set aside because I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it. Today, I decided to cut it into an oval and then create a gold frame around it.
Yesterday I was working on a card for an upcoming Guest Designer gig and I had the purple scrap pieces left over. They are the same tones of colour as in the napkin so I added the pieces behind the oval shape in a staggered fashion and then set the oval on top. Using another of the scrap purple I stamped the sentiment, from a GKD set, using Versamark and then heat set it in gold. I fussy cut around the bottom to keep it as small as possible and popped it up with some foam tape. The tiny gems are from my stash.
Thanks for stopping by, I do appreciate it and any comments you may leave.


This is bright and cheery! I never think about napkins. You did a good job with it.

Thanks. I rarely throw anything away, so sometimes have to do a complete cull and get ruthless else my craft room becomes unmanageable.
