Cards in Envy – Frame it

Welcome to the first Cards in Envy challenge of October. Our theme is ‘Frame It’. We want to see you use a frame on your card. Square, rectangle, circle, oval, as long as it frames something.

Since I’m a huge shutterbug, the first thing that popped into my head was to use a filmstrip die cut as the frame. The cute little Lawn Fawn monsters were perfect to add to my frames and I love the bright and vibrant colors for them.
