Step Three

Step Three Your frame you painted on your cardstock should be just about dry. You can add your photo to the centre of your frame. Stick it down with double-sided tape. It’s time to get out that big pile of leftover chipboard letters. I’m sure we all have them. I know I certainly do. With your letters, you are going to create a background, within you’re painted frame area. You can put them every which way you like to make them fit. I used assorted black letters, as they suited my layout theme and colours. Once you’ve added them all, your layout should resemble something like this... Looking good huh?? Next, I want you to paint a thin white edge around the outside of your painted frame. This will just add a border and finish your frame off. I also drew a doodled line over the white painted edge, so it matches your photo and it’s photo mat. I’ll move onto the next step shortly.
