I made this for my dear friend Angela, for her office, for her Christmas present. I started with a chipboard connector (acidfree.com) that looks like a license plate, then covered it with pp and inked everthing. The slide on top was from the same place and I stamped it with Tim Holtz ink Antique Linen & a swirl stamp and inked the edges a darker brown chalk. The heart was just punched and added with a foam square. The large scalloped circle was created using the Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge at 5 3/4". The rest of the circles were just cut using my CM templates. I made the tiny caramel colored flowers using the Cricut Plantin Schoolbook cartridge (3/4") & attached with bronze brads. The bronze safety pen is Tim Holtz (don't you just love everything he sells?) and reads "Vintage". the flower, ribbon, hemp, mustard-color leaves and vines are Hobby lobby. Of course, I inked everything because I have an inking problem! <wink> See other photos in my gallery for close-ups.
