A SWEET VINTAGE SHABBY CHIC METALLIC FRAME TUTORIAL

Good morning friends!  Welcome to my blog. 

If you are a lover of vintage and shabby chic, then hopefully you will love this post.

I was thrilled recently when Linda Coughlin of the Frilly and Funkie Challenges and also the owner of The Funkie Junkie Boutique asked me to do a guest designer spot for her.  We have been friends since our days together on the design team for Simon Says Stamp And Show. She is such a sweetheart and very talented artist.

Linda's online store, The Funkie Junkie Boutique is one of my favorite places to shop for unique embellishments. She carries all sorts of fun little metal embellishments; particularly gorgeous filigree pieces, a nice selection of beautiful Venise laces and a lot of Tim Holtz Products as well!  All very reasonably priced; and who doesn't love that?!


Here is the versatile little piece that I created for Linda made from a plain copper 2" x 2" metal Memory Frame. It can be an embellishment for a card, mini book or album among other things.  You could add a bale to the top, add a chain and it could be a shabby chic pendant.  Add a pin to the back and it could be a vintage pin or broach. 

Special thanks to Linda for asking me to be a guest designer for her! This was so much fun to make and really easy!  Hop on over to The Frilly and Funkie Challenge and check out my step by step tutorial. 

Have a great week!
