Frame for Roberta's Mom

My youngest sister asked me to make a large shadow box frame for one of her co-workers mom that is in her last days. She wanted her friend to have something that would be in memory of her mom always on display. Please forgive my photo I couldn't get a good one for nothing with the glare from the glass. This is a front on view of the frame.

She found a poem or some write up that they loved and had me print that to add to the frame. I have sponged around the panels that were white with a bit of pretty in pink ink. This is a large framed shadow box of 12x16. A lot of space to fill with just the photo that will go on the left and the poem. I used Spellbinders Grand Calibur Grand Nestabilities Grand Ovals, and Grand Labels One. I used a whole packet of pearls on this baby. Along with several other goodies such as Rose Floret Flowers, Pearl Flourish Brackets, Pink Velvet crochet ribbon, velvet leaves and even more pearls. This paper is from K&C company and has a rather victorian feel to it. My sister truly loved this and was amazed at how it turned out. It was rather simple but I won't tell her that. hee hee I wish you could see how really elegant this looks. Several butterflies are around the frame that I added pearl centers to with the wings spanned out. Thanks for stopping in with me today. I hope you have a wonderful day.
