So here was the Ikea black frame (glass) that I decided to do up as part of a Valentine's Day present...after all, it feels more meaningful receiving a special handmade gift from your girl...
I did away with the white frame and decided to use the black frame horizontally. Cut two black a4 paper for the base. These nice lomo prints are from Cat Socrates which used to be blu-tacked to my office wall and since then I haven't found a use for it, but they are too beautiful to be discarded. The glitter heart is from a hair band- it dropped off and also, too nice to be discarded. It just fits in so well!
Took some time to piece all the pieces together with the right color combi. Amazingly, this was ALL the pieces I had (save for 3 on my shelf frame.) It's just so perfect. The small card size photos of us I had taken as a birthday present last year, and printed cheaply at a Kodak store. (don't go to Fotohub to print, it's a ripoff and the color quality is not good.)
Close up of the completed. All that's left to do is to trim the edges to fit.
Completed? Nice nice? Hope he will like this unique idea of displaying our love-photos in a discreet manner. The glass frame really makes it look more classy, adds depth... and not school project-ish... always buy glass frames!
Final photo...here is a closeup of our photos.
