I've used a frame from an Inkadinkado Christmas set which has never seen ink before and have had a bit of fun playing about with Tim Holtz distress inks (my daughter will argue that these are her inks - but she's happy to share! - aren't you Emily! xx)
I stamped the frame using Crushed Olive and Dusty Concord and the centre of the frame is sponged with Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick.
I've left out a sentiment as nothing seemed quite right and I think it would have detracted from the main image.

Happy crafting everyone, hope you all have a great week.

Great frame. I wouldn't have thought of that. You are giving me some new ideas to try.

This is really gorgeous - this one is definitely not just for Christmas! I love the little portrait in the frame too. Vx
It's a beautiful card!
fabulous card, Suze! I bet your Daughter borrows as much from you as you do from her!
beautiful image... and i do agree, i think a sentiment would have distracted from your fabulous stamping!
I think this is lovely - the frame is really different!
I think it's great that your daughter shares her crafty supplies! LOVE the image on your card...and without the sentiment, it can be used for quite a few different occasions!

A fab card Suze.
Isn't it funny how this challenge is getting us all to bring out those poor neglected stamps that have never seen the sight of an inkpad. Sue.x
A difficult challenge and I think you've nailed it with this card - really pretty Suze. You've reminded me I've got that friendship stamp set somewhere! :)x
very unique card Suze

Lovely different frame, great card.

Just wonderful Suze, and you're definitely right about the sentiment, anywhere you put one would have made the card off balance. I struggled to find a frame to stamp but seeing this card has reminded me that I have two of these Inkadinkado frame stamps too!! Sheesh! I tell you, I have no clue what I've truly got in that room of stash upstairs!
Hugs
Brenda
Lovely card, well done.

Lovely OLC!!
Cool frame and a great image...and so much more centered then mine...I wear bi-focals and sometimes I just can't get it right...sigh!!
beautiful!! such an elegant card!! =)
hugs, SannaS
Wonderful job, I love your combined stamps,they compliment each other so well. I must admit I admire your distressing abilities. Mine always look messy or I smudge just at the last minute. Yours look effortless.
Oh Wow, I love that frame!
Gorgeous - so soft and delicate!
Lovely card. Such a gorgeous frame and great colours :o) Lisa x
