Frame a Living Baby Doll in 15 minutes or less



Algiers Lady, this one is for you. This is one of the original Mardi Gras Baby Dolls, Ms. Miriam Batiste Reed. When I came across this Photoshop frame tutorial on Biju Subhash's Web site, it gave me an excuse to put this image up on my blog. Naturally, I took mine a step further by creating a quick simulated matte but don't worry about that part. It's so easy: Choose a photo, apply a copper gradient overlay from the layer style, adjust the gradient to give the frame depth and viola! You're done.
I used it for a birthday card for some friends. The text says, "When you get to be our age, hitting the bottle takes on a whole new meaning."
