Day 49 - another frame

Ok, my last entry showed a couple of picture frames I made for  DH's man-cave. As some of you might recall, he would not let me put flowers and other embellies on one of the frames. So back to Ms I went to get another $1 wood frame (and some glitter, and ribbon) to make the frame all over again, the way I envisioned it.

The ribbon is from Ms; I dyed it using the Tim Holtz antique linen distress ink. Spread the ink pad on a splat mat, spritz with water, and let the ribbon soak up the dye. Repeat as necessary. If I had the new alcohol inks that would have made my life easier; so would have an appropriate color of Glimmer Mist; but I don't have either. So I dyed it this way. 


I used Beacon's 3 in 1 glue to adhere the ribbon around the edge. The pearls and flowers are Prima.

Doesn't it look so much nicer than DH's frame? I showed him my finished look, hoping to persuade him to accept the one with the embellies and flowers. He liked my new one, BUT, not only did I get a no, I got a HELL NO! Sigh...
