There's a story here! I had a mass production project where I tore about an inch off of a gel print for somewhere near 50 cards. Pretty things... I could not throw them away. I decided to use them to decoupage this Ikea framed mirror. After the papers were all stuck down and dry, I stenciled around with heavy gel medium, then inked with Memento Luxe around the edges and lightly over the raised stenciling, and finally added Platinum InkaGold over the frame lightly with my finger.
I will have more details and photos of my process on my blog Sunday, so be sure to check back if you're interested. The key ornament came from Michael's and the sentiment stamp is from Unity (Donna Downey).

This is so yummy! I love that you chose a mirror. Great use of those pieces - I have a hard time throwing them away too. I think I'll go play with a stencil and gel medium because you've flung a craving on me! Thanks for sharing your sample!
