stamped floating frame

Designer: Lisa Truesdell

I’ve been on a mission lately to get more photos printed and out on display at my house.  I came across this floating frame while shopping and couldn’t wait to dress it up!!  I stamped on the front of the glass frame and then added color to the stamped images by painting the back of the glass.  These Heidi Grace stamps were perfect accent for our family portrait, and I finished the project off with some patterned paper and buttons.
