A little box of Love.........

The second class I taught at the Cardinal Colours Autumn weekend crop was the following box frame.

 

 

The box frame is 9x9" and is glossed white.

I created a grid template on my Cricut using Home Decor cartridge of hearts.

This was cut to fit the back board and an 8x8" or patterned paper placed behind.

 

I then cut loads of hearts the same size from ice cream toned bazzill.

My photo is 3 1/2 " Square and is mounted onto a 4x4" piece of the background paper.

 

The hearts were layered in colour order then machine stitched into place with white thread.

I kept the white hearts on the top and for once did not ink any of the edges!

Well apart from the photo and mount :)

 

The word love was cut with the same cartridge placed over the photograph and coated with glossy accents.

 

To finish, I added 4 gems in a diagonal across the page.

 

I loved designing this frame and hope my class ladies did too - I am hoping to add their versions below shortly.

 

Thanks for looking.
