My husband's grandmother


For this layout of my husband's grandmother I used a piece of paper from Prima's Timeless Memories collection.


Timeless Memories - Forever


I did some stencilling with molding paste mixed with a bit of cream coloured paint on the background, then did a wash of diluted brown ink over the stencilled areas.

I also did some random stamping with brown ink.

The burlap mat was glued onto a piece of plain chipboard so it would stay flat overlapping the wood-cut doilies and foam tape was used underneath to level it.  I also put a piece of plain chipboard under the photo before gluing it to the burlap mat to add more dimension and so it would stay smooth over the rough texture.

I tucked little pieces of natural-coloured reindeer moss under some of the other embellishments.









The scrolls around the photo are Wycinanka chipboard.
