Good morning! Are you ready for a blog hop? Today is the monthly Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Blog Hop! This month we were challenged to make a 3D Altered Project. Before I get into my project, let me tell you a little about the hop and how to win some Blog Candy. One lucky winner will receive a wonderfully decorated assortment of Barb Schram’s ribbon flowers and a generous selection of ribbons from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Not to beg for comments or anything, but if you leave a comment on each of the designer’s blogs, you’ll have more opportunities to win these most gorgeous ribbon flowers.

Now for my project. I went shopping the other day and found these little wood frames with easel backs for a whopping price of 69 cents.
I love bargains like this and of course had to pick up 4 of them in case I needed any in the future. When I put them in the cart, I was thinking of the new Graphic 45 papers and what I could do with them. It didn’t take long to get the first idea.
The entire frame was covered with some papers from Graphic 45 On the Boardwalk. I die cut/embossed two different pieces of coordinating paper with Spellbinders™ S4-191 Dahlia to make the flower on the bottom left corner.
The leaves were die cut/embossed with Spellbinders™ S4-058 Daisy Heads and the flourishes were die cut/embossed with Spellbinders™ S4-198 Flourish Accents.
To balance the frame a heart was used in the upper right corner. I didn’t have any thin ribbon that matched what was going on here, so I dyed the 1/4” White Silk May Arts Ribbon with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. To age the ribbon even more, I burnt the edges with my lighter and kept pulling to fray it even more.
For the inside of the frame, I embossed one of my favorite sentiments on vanilla. The mat, die cut and embossed with Spellbinders™ S4-110 Classic Ovals – Large, was placed over the sentiment in the frame.
