Framed!

Happy October!  This is my DT reveal post for Pixels and Paper.  I'm scheduling this one because I'll be on holidays so I hope it works.

This is the fabulous inspiration photo:


Lots of gorgeous frames ~ and coincidentally, the design criteria this month is also FRAMES.   I liked the idea of using more than one frame on a page, and using overlapping layers. This is what I created:



I also learned a lesson with this layout ~ painting vellum with watercolour causes it to curl up.  One drop of water and it looked like a live sea anemone curling into itself.  I dried it with a heat tool and gently flattened it out, but it's not quite as smooth as I'd like.  Nothing a bit of stitching didn't fix!
