I made this page months ago, before Maggie's event. I wanted to add a few more recents pages to my album and came up with this 8½ x 11 creation.
The page background was created using the negative masking technique. I created circle masks, sponged ink inside and then rolled the Viola's Lace and Very Vintage wheels inside. The rickrack borders were die-cut using my beloved (and sadly retiring - that one I'll mourn) Tasteful Trims die. Once in Crushed Curry Core'dinations cardstock, a second time in Champagne glimmer paper and a third time in Basic Grey cardstock, which I embossed with an embossing folder. I also used the Simply Scored Borders Plate to emboss a border on the Crushed Curry strip.
TIP: The embossing folder is not long enough to emboss an 11" strip, but I simply did one end at a time and ran the strip through the Big Shot twice to get the whole thing embossed. There's a seam in the middle, but it's barely visible.
Two pieces of Crushed Curry chevron ribbon were used to create a bow, from which I hung up my title piece. It was created with the Morning Post Numbers stamp set (sold in the Holidays catalogue, but still currently available on the retiring list).
TIP: See that shading in the middle? It's actually the center of the frame stamp. Since our stamps are die-cut, the center rubber part was still in there when I received the stamp set and instead of throwing it out, I kept it. It works great to create a center to your frame!
