Our fearless leader, Deborah March, has inspired me with a project she did a few weeks ago! So I CASEd it! Her project was a frame as well and she too, used the Corner Swirls stencil (LJ896). I loved it, but I diverged a bit and used the Matte Black Embossing Paste (DMBP) instead of the white that she chose. I found this frame already painted at a discount store and I couldn't resist the shabby chic finish that was already on the frame. I printed out a photo of my daughter onto just regular copy paper...this gave the picture a grainy appearance. It was only black and white, so to give it a vintage feel I sprayed it with the Memories Mists colors- Pale Ale and Orange Juice. I know there are a lot of mists or sprays out there, but frankly I love these. They dry quickly and they are very saturated in pigment. This sepia toned look was just what I wanted.

Very cool frame! I love the way the photo turned out--its haziness and the sepia tones you achieved with the Memories Mists. The frame and photo suit each other.
This is a really atmospheric and nostalgic piece Lynell. The colours work beautifully together.

Beautiful Lynell

Hooray that you could use an already painted frame! The black paste is perfect. Great idea to make your own "sepia" photo, looks so nice in your new frame!
Hehe....frame girls. Your frame is fabulous. I can't wait to see MORE of your "off the card collection"!! Have a super day!!
What a beautiful way to highlight this picture!
Wonderful job, Lynell. I remember how beautiful Deborah's was of that as well. It is the reason I just purchased that stencil!
I remember seeing this before. What a great way to amp up a store find! Love how that picture turned out with the Memories Mists!
Be still my heart...so BEAUTIFUL Lynell! I think this is one of my very FAVOURITE stencils of yours...
The frame could have been made for your lovely stencil! Great idea with the photograph. The Memory Mist dry so quickly that they don't saturate the paper.
I've seen this in person and it is beautiful! Those Memories Mists are very versatile, I love how the photo tinted.
