frame/book

for this post I wanted to create a frame/book, the papers used are from an old basic grey pack, just because I was sorting out some old papers in my craft space and decided it was about time I used them up. I'm sure many of us have papers we have not used, because its too nice or just because we like the feel of it.

The base of the frame is made with white card stock and patterned paper adhered

 after I distressed the edges with distress ink.

I then made an open box shape to sit inside the frame and covered with contrasting paper. decorated the inside of the box with basic grey stickers, a photo and one of the simple stories photo stickers.

the outside of the frame is decorated cutting flowers from the paper and rolling them up and delicate blue fern studio chipboard pieces which I have left naked but added a small amount of distress ink to.
