How do you proceed

I used a photo frame card for this and edited it as follows.

First cut a piece of plastic of 10 by 10 cm, slide this in the frame instead of the photo, this for protection so that a photo can easily be inserted later.

Paint the frame with black gesso and let it dry. Move the plastic sheet again to loosen it.

Then I applied some gold with matte metallic acrylic paint, this with the drybrush technique.

You pick up a little bit of paint with a dry brush, and first rub it out well and then apply it to your picture frame with light strokes.

Then you take texture paste and make nice figures with a stencil. I chose bricks, flowers and windows, let this dry well again.

I colored it with some watercolor.

Then I blackened all the decoration materials that come on it with black gesso.

When everything was dry I glued it with wood glue.

These decorations were then treated with matte metallic paint from DecoArt, and with viva inka gold.

2 more beautiful glass beads as last glued with the flowers, and a stamp print behind a glass cameo glued with liquid glass.

Apply some stickles here and there, and then your picture frame is ready.

Remove the plastic from your photo frame and replace it with your photo.

The best thing is if you adjust the colors a bit to your photo that comes in.
