Great Aunt Ada

My great-aunt Ada

Well, it's been a while but I finally have another finished page to share.


For this layout I used papers from the Old Lace collection by Stamperia.

I glued some Prima mica flakes in Mulberry and Prills (Express-o-Yourself) onto the background using Artquest's Perfect Paper Adhesive.

I layered all the die-cuts over a black copy and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.


These are the dies and punch I used:

Cheery Lynn Designs Horizon Rectangle

Spellbinders Floral Assortment

EK Success Scalloped Scallop

Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles

Tutti Designs Leaves Corner

Poppy Stamps Burnished Corner

Spellbinders Standard Circles LG

Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles LG

These are the chipboard pieces I used:

Blue Fern Studios Blue Fern Flourish - small

BoBunny Timepiece

Creative Embellishments Autumn Leaves

Creative Embellishments Window Shutters

I embossed the flourish with Ranger Embossing Antiquities in California Stucco using clear ink.

I embossed the Window Shutter pieces and the timepiece with Stampendous embossing tinsel in Vintage Mahogany.  The colour was a bit too dark against the rest of the layout so I rubbed the pieces with Prima Metallique wax in Rose Gold.

I painted the leaves brown and then rubbed them lightly with more of the Rose Gold wax.  I also rubbed this wax over most of the other embellishments.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
