Decorative Uses For Graphic 45 by Nancy Wethington!

Nancy Wethington is a wonderful designer for our Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge! She also is a designer for Graphic 45! Make sure to check out her work on her blog, on the Simon Says Stamp & Show Challenge blog, and on Graphic 45's blog!

Cool inspiration by Nancy Wethington!

I hate to admit this, but I was a little bit surprised by the size of the Ornate Door Knob when it first came in. I liked the look of it, but wondered how it could be used. Since then, I've seen it on scrapbook covers, book bindings, and on a box like the one below! People never cease to amaze me with their creativity!!
Ornate Door Plate & Knob - Nancy used Metal Button embellishment for a flatter knob!

A few items you could use to create a work like this:
Red flowers (stain darker with Fired Brick or Barn Door!)


Some reasons why I love Graphic 45:

A few idea-ology items you see above:
