Since a long time, I was thinking of making a photo frame with a dark background. Black is the darkest of all, however, keeping that aside for another project, for this one with limited materials in hand, I thought of creating a wooden look using burnt sienna and umber black mix to create the look.
This time, the photo frame is created with a single card stock instead of using two different colors on top of each other. Hence, the blank space for the photo (5/7 inches) is created by an outline with black decorated lace.
The rest of steps are same as described before. In this frame, I have used only Malaysian flowers, my most favorite floral pattern in quilling. The leaves are created by assembling five marquise shapes on yellow paper strips, which are used as small stems in this case. Three of each of these five composite leave patterns are further joined together to give another composite structure of 15 leaves together and a total six such sets are used in the assembly.
Here's posting some snapshots on floral assembly on silicone and the side view of the frame.
