My friend sent some of these lacy ribbon die cuts for me to play with and I knew if I would just bide my time I'd be struck by inspiration. I certainly do have drawers full of ribbon... This snowflake ribbon was a perfect fit with a snowflake showing in each section. It even comes with its own glitter.
After I made the frame I thought about Mrs. Purdy right away -- another gift from the same friend -- so I colored her with Copics, added a sentiment and, well, you can see how purdy Mrs. Purdy looks in her laced up frame.
I'll list the recipe for all parts below my signature.
