She slit scored some grey mat board so it would stand up like a tent. She trimmed the photo with a deckle trimmer and glued it to grey mat board. Without using a ruler, she drew a string in pencil to define the border and then filled it in with perfs and a variation of zander.
Material used:
- Grey mat board
- Knife
- Deckler
- Sakura® Pigma™ black and brown Micron pens

Thanks for sharing the how-to's and thanks for sharing the photo! How lucky you are, Maria. Sisters are a wonderous thing:)
Great picture and wonderful idea!
xo,

Ohh..such a wonderful idea..and a simple zentangle adds soo much charm to the picture..
Wonderful picture and tangle. I also have a picture of me with my 3 sisters that I can do this with for each of them. Thanks so much for the idea and the instructions-love it!!!
What a lovely photo ... a memory to be sure! Love the frame too.
Cheers

Thanks for posting tools info, too. I just found General's® Charcoal White™ for sale online in Australia. Yay! My family rates 2 girls (my sister and I) and 4 boys... and it's a rare thing indeed to get all 6 of us in one photo (happened last time in 1986!). Perhaps Photoshop [grin].
I also have 3 brothers, and we have photos taken almost every year in the "lineup" of the seven of us.....oldest to youngest. I am next to the youngest. what fun......Maria
Absolutely wonderful personalization! I'm still impressed that there are four lovely sisters in this group (having no sisters at all!).
Hi, Maria
I love this picture of your sisters and you. I have two Sisters myself and I have a photo of the 3 of us one of the Cousin or Aunts taken of us standing together back when I was about 32-33 years old at the family Thanksgiving or Christmas get-togethers. I haven't see that photo in a long time, but this is a great idea on how to display it. I also have one Brother who's the baby of the family. We are all Stair-Steppers. My Brother turned 47, My youngest Sister is 48, my other Sister is 49 and I'm 50 year old.
When I locate that photo, that's what I'll do it with once I locate it. I would use green, purple or blue since those are my favorite colors.
