Using also the Spellbiners Eyelet Lace Frame die set, I die-cut out of mint and sand cardstock solid shaped frames to glue behind the frames with intricate die-cut detail.

Then, I die-cut background frames using Spellbiners Eyelet Lace Frame and ivory/ cream cardstock 300 grams.

I made 5×7 inches card bases out of Ivory cardstock.
