Unknown Ancestors

The photo I used in this layout was among some old family photographs but had no names written on the back. I think it might be my great-great grandparents with two of their younger daughters because I notice a resemblance to my great-grandfather.


For this layout I used a variety of old papers from my stash.  The background paper was from Prima's Lucid collection and some of the die-cuts were cut from Lilac House papers by Fancy Pants Designs.



These are the punches and dies I used:

Martha Stewart Punch Wild Flowers

Martha Stewart Punch Cherish

Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight

Cheery Lynn Designs Canadian Kaleidoscope Tiny Doily

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Dusty Attic Ornate Corner #11

Dusty Attic Corner Flourish #1

2Crafty Parisian Border

I painted the Parisian Border and Ornate Corner dark brown and then dabbed on Prima Finnabair Patina Pastes sparingly with a brush.  I also rubbed a hint of white paint overtop with my fingertip.

I painted the Corner Flourish white and then applied Renaissance Viva Decor Crackle paint.

The clay piece below the photo was made with a mold and Sculpey Ultra Light.  I applied Prima Finnabair Patina Pastes thickly with a brush and then rubbed over the raised areas with Vintage Silk Opal Magic wax using my finger.
