Supplies:
- May Arts Velvet Ric Rac
- May Arts Sheer Frayed Flower
- Stampendous! Aged Rose Embossing Enamel
- Stampendous! Distressed Type Cling Stamp
- Thrifted Frame
- Colonial White Pigment Ink
- Flower Centers
- Tape
- Heat gun
- Spray Adhesive
To begin disassemble the thrifted frame so you have the frame itself (mine was gold), the mat, and the glass. Clean the glass thoroughly and set aside. Spray frame with spray adhesive and cover with the Aged Rose Embossing Enamel from Stampendous! Be sure to do this over a sheet of paper or something so you can put all the extra back in the bottle! Use your heat gun to emboss the entire frame.
Stamp the Distressed Type Stamp on kraft cardstock with colonial white pigment ink and trim down to size.
Tape the trimmed panel to the back of the mat that came with the frame.
Turn mat over and adhere velvet ric rac around the panel. Be sure to miter your corners as you work.
Assemble frame with glass and any backboard it may have had. Adhere the Sheer Frayed Flowers to the top corner of the frame and adhere flower centers.
This makes a wonderful gift for a new baby or even for a young child or a teacher. You can always change out the colors to make it work best for your recipient! I was really excited to see how beautifully the frame turned out after covering it entirely with embossing enamel! I hope you give this fun project a try!

Wow, Jennifer! We love what you've done with the place! A super creative use of our Altered Alphabet Background!
Jingle, this is just the cutest thing! It looks so much like an old fashioned sampler!
I never thought of using embossing powder on a frame. What a great project. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous flowers.
Wow! Looks like an old fashion sampler. Love the embossing ideas. Going to have to try and be more creative in using embossing powders. Love the ideas. Thanks for all the great ideas,
This is just fabulous…reminds me of an old vintage stitched sampler

This is a gorgeous project! Love it1
Fantastic Project!
Wow! This is absolutely spectacular!
Great job. Love this frame!
Great idea, love the embellishments.
beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I would never have thought to use spray adhesive & embossing powder on a frame. So creative! I'll have to try it.
I have never embossed anything but paper. It seems that I need to branch out. I like the effect.
I like how you used letters as the picture. Kraft as a background is great beacause it grounds it. Not overwhelming.
This is so nice. The focal point can be changed whenever you want, to keep it looking different.
Your ribbons are always so pretty, and add so much beauty.
Love the embossed frame. Thank you for sharing.
I really like the look of the frame totally covered in rose embossing powder!
Love the embossed frame and those shabby chic flowers!
Wow I love the effect that frame has with the powder. Very neat!
very nice project. thank you for sharing.
Lots of Alpa Frame projects out there but this one is so beautifully different and VERY inspirational! Thank you!
Cute idea for a new baby! The flowers in the corner are the best! Thank you!
Love the embossing powder on the frame. There are so many new texture embossing powders out now. Love the flowers and alphabet sampler idea too!
Very sweet project! Ok, now I want those flowers….lol.
Loving that frame and ric rac.. Great job.
