Instructions
1.
Cut the gray cardstock the same height as your photograph and twice
the width.
2.
Using a ruler draw 3 or 4 thick lines along one short
edge of the cardstock with the silver marker. Trim this edge with
the deckle scissors.
3.
To create the flower border, use the green Silver
Shadow pen to doodle the leaves for the flowers. Use the red Silver
Shadow pen to doodle swirls for the flower.
4.
Write the title with the fine tip marker on to the
1” wide strip of black cardstock then doodle a flower at each
end.
5.
With the title at the center, trim the strip to 7”
in length.
Referring
to the photograph, assemble as follows:
1.
Adhere the photograph to gray mat with the silver
edge. Draw a silver border along the opposite side of the photo
then trim to desired width. (1/8” shown here.)
2.
Add narrow strips to the right side of the page and
the title across the bottom.
3.
Adhere the matted photograph and silver photo corner
accents.
Variation:
Use gold shadow pens on khaki colored paper for gold
accents. The title was printed on a computer then traced over with
the green gold shadow pen.
