Today’s tutorial was written by the fabulous Birgit Edblom, aka. Biggan. Her tutorial is on how to create a wonderful paper frame for your main image.
For my sample I used another image that I had colored (and had final touches added by the fabulous Marianne Walker) during my trip to Chicago. The image is from Flourishes new set called Christmas Classic. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on X-Press It! Blending Card and colored with Copic Markers ( Bird: R08, R27, R29, R39, R59 Beek and feet: YR15, YR18, R08 Branch: E55, E57, E59 Background: B0000 and Spica Clear Glitter Pen).
The image was cut down to a 2 5/8″ square and stitched to a slightly bigger piece of textured Chocolate Chip cardstock. That again was adhered to a 2 15/16″ square of Cherry Cobbler cardstock that had a border stitched to it. Fine brown Burlap String was threaded through the frame before the layers were adhered inside.
A 1 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ piece of Webster’s Pages paper was adhered to a 4 5/8″ square of a different style Webster’s Pages paper. White lace purchased at JoAnn’s was adhered to the edge of the horizontal strip and the layers were stitched to 1/4″ bigger piece of white cardstock. the card base is a 4 7/8″ x 9 3/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip card stock folded in half.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set. It was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White card stock. It was cut and embossed with Petite Oval Nestabilities. The inner part of the oval was colored with Copic Marker B0000. Three snowflakes cut and embossed with the Snowflake Borderabilities dies were added to the card and topped with Kaisercraft Bliss Pearls.

Love the cardinal! I think I will have to add that set to my collection (the school’s mascot is the cardinal…one can’t have too many!! Especially when all is said and done, my kids will be there for a total of 17 years?!!)
Your cardinal is colored so beautifully. You have just the right highlights.. Great tutorial Beate..
Just gorgeous Miss Beate and thanks too for the fabulous tutorial! I need to come hang out with you sometime in hopes that you’ll rub off on me! 😉

so pretty and classy. your coloring on the image is fabulous. i am in love with this beauty, Beate!
Beate, again a masterpiece! I really do like it a lot and will definitely give it a try! The only thing making it easier would be to have the dimensions also in cm. I have a (meric) scorepal… Perhaps you could write the cm in brackets?
