Today I am sharing my hand stamped Poinsettia frame.
This beautiful frame is an inexpensive, easy gift to make!
I started with a frame that I bought from Michael's Craft Store for $1.
I painted it with Silver metalic paint and let it dry.
I stamped Jumbo Cling Poinsettia with VersaMark ink and embossed with Aged Scarlet Embossing Enamel. Then I repeated that step a few more times purposely leaving parts of the Jumbo Poinsettia image off the side of the frame so it looked more random.
You could stop after this step if you want.
I think the frame looks very clean and classy at this point. But....I love to color so I added the next step to complete my project.
Use Markers (I used Memento) to color the flower image.
Alcohol markers do not work well for this project (ask me how I know?)

I also added Nutmeg embossing powder to the center of the flowers and heated it till it melted.

Your picture frame is gorgeous. Iris
WoW! What a beautiful transformation of a $1 frame! The embossing really makes the flowers pop!
I have one of those frames & have been afraid to do anything to it, but now I will paint it & stamp on it as I totally LOVE how this came out! Thanks for inspiring me!
Love, love this Miss Lady!!! Super rad job!!!
Wow, Kristine! This is stunning! When I first saw it, I thought you had stamped on metal. The embossed poinsettia blooms against the silver is so eye catching. I LOVE it!
Boy do I see those frames often...since I work at Michaels...our demo's are never that nice...great project!
Beautiful job, Kristine! And thanks for the step outs! What a terrific project!
Cute frame.. Love the coloring and great Idea! Love this hop so much fun!
Great frame! I'm not sure I would have thought to make a wooden frame metallic but it works beautifully!
I have not been adventurous enough to try colored embossing powder but this project just might make me give it a try. It turned out really lovely.
This is fantastic! Love the sparkle and shine, and the coloring! So elegant!
I love these frames and I think that Stampendous embossing products work amazing on them!!! I really like using PearLustre on them. I hope you have a good weekend!!!
Superb colours...wonderful background..great gift for anyone of any age for Christams.

What a perfect frame! This is a great little gift idea!
Stunning frame! Love how you did the poinsettias!!
Such inspiration...I'm going to have to pick up a few of those frames!
Your poinsettia frame is very cute and I have to say, even though I love the one you colored in, I really love the first one that is outlined! Thanks for two ways to make this lovely frame.
Oh my gosh, this is beautiful!! Have to do this! You are always so inspiring!!
Think this is gorgeous..the silver metallic paint makes such a difference to an ordinary frame.
Fabulous project, thanks for the inspiration!

Fabulous project. I just picked up a couple little frames in a clearance bin, so I may just try something like this. TFS!
Amazing how those frames can go from plain to wow! Gorgeous design and wonderful pic.
