Home Decor Ahoy!

I'm the Guest Designer at The BugBytes today, and I made a little home decor project.

I used Cricut Craft Room to weld Pennants from Art Philosophy  across the square frame from Art Philosophy.  Then I filled separate pennants with different patterns from Imagine cartridges. The cloud pattern comes from Hop Scotch. I layered 3 unwelded frames under it using foam tape to get a little dimension.

The pirate ship is from Buccaneer with a little foam tape under the front and the back being glued directly to the background. The pearls along the bottom are made with clear decorative accents with a drop of pearl alcohol ink over each one. The glitter letters are from Pink Paislee.

I cut the frame stand from the Fancy Frames cartridge using a pasta box. The blade depth was set at 5, the pressure at 5 and multicut set at 2. It's great for lighter projects, but not as sturdy as the Little Easel Sizzix die by Tim Holtz.

Great little frame. Love the banner attached to the frame I am sure it helps strengthen the frame. TFS

I would have sworn this was a little tray with a raised edge! So well done, and fun to boot! I don't have the Imagine, so I will have to find another theme and replace the pirate ship with something else, but I have to scraplift this, so unique. Love it!
