Are you looking for a quick and easy gift? Don't know what to buy? Make it yourself!  This was so much fun to create. Start with a plain, unpainted wood frame and paint it white. Use texture paint and Mostly Vintage Decor Stencil to add depth and texture. Once it is dry, sponge silver ink through stencil onto raised image. Use Artistic Etchings with black and silver ink to stamp on the frame. I used My Digital Studio to create the Happy Anniversary inserts.    What’s old is new again! Stencils are back in style with Stampin’ Up!’s fashionable designs perfect for creating cards, scrapbook pages, fabric projects, 3-D projects and all kinds of home décor! In this class, you’ll learn how to use stencils with ink, pastels, heat embossing, and stencil paste. Plus, I have a special Stenciling 101 Tutorial that will help you explore even more creative options! Come join the fun at Hobby Lobby in June, click on June Classes on the left for more details. The card and frame would make a great Father's Day, Birthday or Graduation Gift! Vintage Vogue Instructions 03/24/2010
