I have had so many people write and ask about the frame I used for this canvas (the frame is totally digital). Did I create it myself? Where did I get it? What shadow settings did I use? Tons of questions and one easy answer!
Picnik
You will remember that I did THIS post on the cool online photo editor called Picnik. I did the entire frame there and it took all of about 2 minutes and looks totally real.
First I uploaded my full size image (already cropped the way I wanted it)
Then I clicked on the CREATE tab
Then I scrolled down to MUSEUM MATTE (it’s a free one)
I played around with the settings and ended up with the largest size frame and matte
When I was done I clicked SAVE and SHARE
I saved at 100% at the highest quality possible
And ended up with this.
**************
Most canvas printers only need 100 – 150 dpi for crisp canvas prints so I could make this baby BIG (mine is 50 inches long).
And now I smile every time I walk in my room
(except for the fact that I have no bedside lamps…anyone have an in with IKEA and can tell them that Jakarta really needs a branch?)
amazing and beautiful! I’m loving the picture!
Thank you so much, so helpful!

I would love to know where you had it printed as well…it is so beautiful.
I Love this picture… But I am really interested in your Bedset… I have a black and white theme in my bedroom with a red pop looks like you might just have the same thing.. I can not find all red pillow with just white or black… I love your red pillows. IKEA?? since you mentioned it orrr did you get them somewhere else…I am missing lamps too but I think I found what I want at target…
Love this Janet! Now, I just need to find a good canvas printer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
That is amazing!! Did you already tell us where you printed the canvas? It is beautiful!!

Oh, and I don’t have Ikea where I live either. Closest store is 2 hours away. I’d love to buy some of their cabinet-style shelves, but I’m not going to pay to ship them to my town. Oh well.
Thanks for steering us toward Picnik. I belong to Flickr so I’ve already tried out the digital frame effect on one of my photos. It looks great! I sense some holiday uses for this
Janet…THANK YOU! I was one of the zillions who asked about that frame. Love it! I’m off to check out picnik!
