Happy Mother's Day Frame

Howdy y'all! 

Well Mother's Day is fast approaching! So your girl Mary Ellen from Creative Time With ME is here to help y'all out! I have a wonderful way to decorate a picture frame using The Robin's Nest Dew Drops!

Accessories: Unfinished Solid Pine Wood Frame by Creative Hobbies, Tim Holtz Distress Paint Ground Espresso, The Robin's Nest Dew Drops

1. I started out by grabbing a raw wood picture frame.
2. Next I brought out some Tim Holtz Distress Paint in Ground Espresso. 
3.  After placing the paint in my palette. I used a foam brush to apply it to the frame.
4. When the paint was dry I brought out The Robin's Nest Dew Drops and some Bearly Art Craft Glue.
5. I then proceeded to glue down one of the small green Dew Drops and 7 red tear drop shaped Dew Drops.
6. This process continued until all the flowers were on the frame.
7. Then I brought the green Dew Drops back in and using the small circular and tear drop shaped Dew Drops. I created the look of leaves and  stems for the flowers. 
8. Next in the top and bottom center of the frame I brought out the red heart Dew Drops and gold large circular Dew Drops.
9. And I proceeded to glue them onto the middle top and bottom portions of the frame.
10. Once that was all done and dry. I was able to place a picture inside for my mom. 
11. Now it is ready to be a Mother's Day present. 

 On the Robin's Nest blog you will find a video tutorial of the process.

You're a Gem Happy Mother's Day 2020

Howdy!

Today's card was inspired by the Spring Card Camp class. That, I've been taking through Online Card Classes. The most recent lesson was to Make a Statement with Sentiments! I went with the Big, Bold Sentiments part of the lesson. The main message of this card is Happy Mother's Day! And I added a couple of sentiment stamps to create a full statement. For the "You're a Gem" part, I fussy cut that one out. And for the "I Adore You", that is cut using my paper trimmer. For the background of the card, I took a stencil and went with a gradient pink color.
