eate! It's a small framed piece, with the opening in the frame only 5" across by 3-1/2" high. It would make a great gift or a nice element up on a mantle for the holidays.No, by 'fancy frame' I do not mean the pretty gold frame that houses this cute home decor piece. What I mean is the cool frames we can create using the circles from Seasonal Circles and a circle paper punch. This technique is a great way to add a fancy accent to a frame around another circle.
I stamped the open poinsettia ring onto a distressed beige piece of the Be Good paper from Cosmo Cricket. Then, I punched a 1-3/8" circle into the center of the stamp. As you can see, the circle punch snipped about a third of each of the little flowers off. Not a big portion, but just e
nough to create a cool frame around a second (in this case, solid) circle of 1-1/4". Try this with the other three circles in the Seasonal Circles set. I bet you'll like how the other patterns look, too!Stamps: Seasonal Circles (Verve Visual)
