TIOT frame up - a day late!

hi folks!!
well i am a day late with my Frame Up challenge from Suzanne but better late than never! i had LOTS of fun with this little cutie!
I started with the sketch challenge and color challenge over on SCS. The patterned piece is from the new Basic Grey Kioshi collection - HEAVENLY colors and of course susana has it in the 6x6 pad!


I stamped the Latte Elisabeth Bell image with Memento black ink and colored her with copics. i used my sewing machine to stitch the frame around the mat. i am not the best at doing fancy corner stitching so i hid my corners with the adorable little Prima Tiny Tots - LOVE these little things - they come in a nice assortment of colors and are a perfect size!







As a finishing touch i did my own custom swirls using some Viva Decor Pens - I used the Lime Green Paper Pen & the Gold Glitter Liner. these are actually pretty easy to do. i draw the swirls on with a versamark pen and follow those!
if you have not taken the Viva Decor plunge i encourage you to JUMP IN!
hugs

better blog siggy
