I used the *** Gus, and decided he needed a nice faux wood frame! Gus was stamped onto vanilla and then again onto white. I coloured the white image with copics, cut it out. It was attached to the vanilla piece after I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen. I also added crystal effects to Gus's glasses.
For the frame, I started with a piece of creamy caramel, embossed with the distressed stripes EF. Then I wiped the following ink pads directly onto the cardstock, creamy caramel, more mustard. After I cut the strips to make the frame, I sponged around all the edges with creamy caramel and close to cocoa!
I finished it off with some micro brads, and popped the whole thing up on dimensionals!
