I've been spending a huge amount of time recently researching our family tree and it's spurred me on to do something with the photographs I actually possess...This is my paternal Aunt and her hubby, I think he looks quite menacing and scary actually!

I created a double page spread and began by layering papers and transfers to give me the foundation for the photographs - nothing complicated, I used the humble eraser tool to soften any hard edges although in some cases I've allowed some sharp edges to stay as I wanted quite an untidy vibe to the page. The right hand side was completed first, the photograph masked then the figures extracted, layer duplicated and top layer hard light. I used a census page which documents my Aunt when she was younger and transformed it simply using the perspective tool, changing the mode to darken. The title is copied from her marriage certificate and layer changed to darken mode. The left hand page is done in much the same way using hard light and linear burn modes for the photographs, sandwiching some fotoglows and transfers in between the layers to introduce some colour.
