Metal and Wooden Photo Frame
Option 2
-
Prepare wooden frame by staining or painting the color of your choice.
-
Cut and emboss Spellbinders Die Template S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities 2 times using pure copper foil. Save the curved pieces cut from the inside of the borderability.
-
Adhere a borderability die cut on both the top and the bottom of the frame.
-
Arrange 2 of the saved pieces to form a diamond pattern on each side of the frame.
Both of these projects are very simple, yet show the versatility of the borderability die templates. In these examples, I left the copper in its natural state. In the following finished sample, I treated the copper with alcohol inks after cutting and embossing. Pure copper can also be heated to create color change to the pieces of copper.
