Pure Gumption Graduation Picture Frame

Need the perfect graduation gift?

How about a picture frame to hold

the memories of the big day.

This is a wooden frame bought at

a craft store for $1. I painted it with

some black acrylic chalkboard paint.

Once the paint dried, I rubbed my Embossing

Buddy on the frame where the sentiment

was going to be placed, inked the

sentiment with a VersaMark ink pad

and stamped it directly onto the frame.

Then I applied Whisper White dry embossing

Powder and heat embossed the sentiment.

The Embossing Buddy powder then just

gets wiped off with a wet paper towel.

The graduation cap is also heat embossed

in Basic Black. I added a rhinestone to the

top for a little more bling. (You can never

have too much sparkle!)

The scallop circle punch and year numbers

use the Silver Glimmer paper and are adhered

with Tombow glue.

I think you'll see more posts from me

using these little frames. They're so fun

to embellish!
