A little while ago I saw this frame on Pinterest from a really talented Etsy artist, Delta Girl Frames but realized that they were really hard to get your hands on and out of my price range, so I thought I would make my own.

Not too long ago I saw some adorable silhouette eggs on Pinterest. They were too colorful for my decor but I loved the idea! Then later I saw some beautiful tea-stained eggs here on Southern Living’s website. I decided to try to mix the two ideas and was really happy with how it turned out.
When I started doing monthly posts for Dear Lillie last summer I made a promise to keep my topics of choice “somewhat related to the general theme of the blog.” In keeping with that promise, I decided to try my hand at a little crafting this month. What I thought would take about five minutes wound up taking three days… and still ended up looking like it took only five minutes.
Today I am guest-posting over at Traci’s for part of her “Simple and Inexpensive Christmas” series. I am showing several of the cardstock projects I have done for Christmas decorating this year and thought I would share a tutorial here on how I made the most recent one.
Here is the side by side of the photo before I did anything to Lola’s eyes and after I made the eyes “pop” (with some added texture and an action applied). This isn’t a very interesting or creative shot but I wanted to use a new photo for this tutorial instead of one I had already edited and neither Lola or Lillie were very cooperative the other day.
