FabScraps Love 2 Travel Patriotic Page -American Hero





FabScraps New Collection Love 2 Travel

Traveling fresh from Craft and Hobby Assoc. Trade Show is the new Love 2 travel collection.  I adore anything red, white and blue so this really appealed to me.  I have an Uncle who is a great American Hero serving in WWII.   I thought I would honor him here. 

I have also attached step by step instructions for this project - super simple. 
 I showcase two pieces from this collection: 
FabScraps Love 2 Travel Collection- America paper C73007 
FabScraps Love 2 Travel Collection  -Stars & Stripes paper C73008 
   
My embellishments are all from Prima, with the resin frame, flowers, metal hinges and crystals accenting the resin frame. 







Always and Forever - thanks to all those who have served the USA. 
Thanks for stopping here as well. 

Instructions:
1.     Background page is FabScraps Love 2 Travel Collection- America paper C73007 12x12 sheet.
2.   Next layer FabScraps Love 2 Travel Collection  -Stars & Stripes paper C73008 12x12 sheet.  Rip paper sheet off center and glue paper flaps to page.  
3.   Stencil words or decorations onto page with white modeling paste or heavy gesso.  Let Dry.
4.  Add a large decorative frame with photo in the crease of the paper rip.  
5.  Decorate the frame with flowers, ribbon, trim of choice. 
6.  Rip a little of the right edge near bottom enough to show the Statue of Liberty on FabScraps Love 2 Travel Collection- America paper C73007.  
7.  Top frame with crystals or gems, sequins. 
8.  Dot page with starburst or star punches and top those with crystals or sequins.
