Thorstein

My Icelandic Great-Great-Grandfather, Thorstein

For this layout I used Blue Fern Studios papers for the background and some of the die-cuts.

Blue Fern Studios Chesterville - Keswick

Blue Fern Studios Chesterville - George

These are the dies and punch I used:

Cheery Lynn Designs Deutschland Boutique Stacker A2 Frame

Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two

Spellbinders Floral Assortment

Prima Forest Leaves

Martha Stewart
Cherish

This is what the layout looked like before applying the clocks and flowers.

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Blue Fern Studios Roman Clock Set - Small

Blue Fern Studios Tattered Diamond Bits

Blue Fern Studios
Notebook Edges

I coated the Roman Clocks with Viva Decor primer (Haft Grund) and applied white Viva Decor Crackle paint.  I then rubbed them with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink and applied Viva Decor Ferro Metal Effect Textured Paint (Irongold) unevenly over the surface.

I painted the Tattered Diamond Bits white and then heat-embossed them with Antique Linen Distress Embossing Powder.

The notebook edges were also painted white and them sponged with tiny bits of beige, brown, yellow and more white paint overtop to blend them together and creat a subtle worn effect.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
