Happiness Always

This is another picture frame I decorated. I decided to go pretty simple to let the beautiful paper speak for itself. The stamp set is from Sale a Bration last year, and paper is Le Jardin. There's also a little matching votive candle holder. I put micro beads around the top of the votive using Sticky Strip.

Here's a close up of the stamped image. The lines were made using a washcloth rather than a sponge around the edges. I think the effect is pretty neat.

This is the close up of the votive. I really like the beads around the rim. Other than that, it's pretty simple, really.

On the edges of the frame I tried to color with my Always Artichoke marker, but the ink kept smearing and wouldn't dry. I figured I'd cover it up with some sticky strip and micro beads as well. I also put beads right around the opening for the photo on the frame, but you can't really see those. It's very subtle, but still kind of elegant looking.

I really like how this set turned out. Hopefully others will like it, and it will sell at the craft fair. Thanks for looking, and I'll see you later!
