Nature theme photo frame....Sky Blue and Green

The customized photo frame series continues. I had completed two more within last two weeks. One of which is this blue and green color theme frame created on an 8/12 inches cardstock with an available photo size of 5/7 inches.

The background was created with distressing using Tim Holtz distress inks. I have used both mowed lawn and broken china inks and this is how it looked. The swirl which is used are available readymade from Nupur Creatives Store, Mumbai (online as well) and the color effect is created with distressing again.

Getting the background ready

Next step is to create the flowers and leaves by quilling of course and then assembling each of the flowers separately (as described in my older posts) with the help of a silicone glue. Apart from Anabond RTV 666 which I had used before, Permatex clear RTV clear silicone (#80050, available at Amazon) also worked well.

It takes minimum 8-9 hours for the silicone to dry and harden completely. I keep it for 12 hours and then it is easily removable from the small plastic bases (cut from any plastic cover files) using a tweezer. The excess of the silicone base is then removed with scissors.

The final step is to plan the assembly and this step is where the creativity can be enjoyed to its fullest to create some nice florals and leaves compositions. Some zoomed in view of the assembly are given below, just for you :)

So the final frame again. Just put a picture on the blank space (5/7 inches) and make this an adorable gift for your near and dear ones. The outer dimension of the designer piece is 8/12 inches in size and can be framed within shadow boxes of appropriate size, matte color and frame color. One more unique feature of these customized frames is that you can keep the orientation of your picture either as portrait or in landscape and can place or rotate the final frame accordingly.
