Pressed flowers...

Did you ever press your own flowers?

I tend to pick some every year and stick them in a book,

but I never get around to using them.

So, using up some more of my stuff, I painted an old wood frame.

First a coat of white, sand some off, then add some stain...

Love the shabby look...

while that was drying, I was busy glueing pressed flowers onto some green cardstock...

add a chocolate brown matt and put the two together.....

I love the way it turned out!

I really can keep busy using all the supplies I already have.

It's for sale on my etsy shop, if interested....
