Altered Love Frame

My dad's birthday was on April 13th (yep, this past Friday the 13th), so I decided to make him an altered art piece to hang at home. This is a fairly large piece - for the center, I used a 12x12 sheet of Punky Playground (corrugated cardboard from Punky Sprouts), so this gives you some idea of the overall dimensions. The frame was an unfinished wooden frame I got at Michael's fairly cheaply (especially since I used a 50% off coupon). I then misted it with brown, and then used my Prima "Brick Wall" mask to heat emboss with WOW Embossing Powder. I used a ton of gorgeous Scrapmatts laser-cut chipboard here, all heat embossed with WOW Embossing Powder. I also used the Earthtone Olive powder on some of the peachy leaves from IAmRose.com. I also love how the birdcage and frame around the photo came out looking like metal when embossed with Metallic Copper. The collection is Kasiercraft "Sweet Nothings", and I still can't get enough of it :) I used the papers and the die cuts from the collection. The flowers are from Petaloo and Recollections.
