black baroque

I found this great Etsy shop Black Baroque


I think it's just adorable! I love the ornate black frames! and the pictures are just sooo cute!
I had this old little frame leftover from a thrift store purchase...so i cut some old book pages to size and mod podged them in...

and I might have spray painted a key (to what I don't know) and hot glued it to the center

\

and this is the inside wood frame to a walmart purchase...so I added some old book pages to this one as well!



oh the good ole days...when we looked like we were 15.

and cause i'm insane in the membrane..i kept going.

dollar store frame..
i cut a book page to size....

and lightly glued it to some paper...found some clipart I liked and printed it out...

I added a little color...
so fun...and the possibilites are ENDLESS!




then I added some book pages to my quilled w my sister made me


 and now I just can't quite figure out what to do with them all....



and in honor of my daughter's birthday....I did one of her....
i took her picture through picnik and edited the exposure to make it more graphic...


you just play around til you get something you are happy with...

throw it in another dollar store frame






and check out this other awesome tut using book pages!

  1. Are your images printed directly onto the paper or onto a vellum/transparency overlay?

  5. I love the one you did of your daughter! Very cute but I don't know if my inner bookworm will allow for me to desecrate a book even for cute decorating purposes :)

  12. Love this project! How clever! This is one I'm going to do. Starting looking at books and clip art today. Stopped at Goodwill for frames - nothing. Maybe the dollar store will have a good selection.

  13. BTW, what is the best online site for free clip art that you have found?

  17. Love, love, love this! Question - the photo of your daughter, did it already have a white background or is there something in Picnik that you did to take the background out! I tried the pencil scetch but my photo still has a black backround. I really am excited about this project!

  18. With the project with the house key, which I LOVE, did you put the glass back in the frame in front of the key? Could you go into a little more depth on how you did that one? Wasn't sure where to Mod Podge....thanks!
