This is my husband's great grandfather. After doing some research we found out that he fought at Gettysburg during the Civil War.

Process
The pattern paper from APP Patriarch Bonus was used as the foundation of the page. MultiMedia Patriarch_1 was opened up. The images were clipped to the frame masks. A snippet of APP Patriarch Text paper was also clipped to a frame mask. It was duplicated and clipped to the smaller image (blending mode changed to color burn. Parts of the paper were erased to better showcase the face. The journal from the kit was layered behind the frame. The photo of the battle was clipped to a linear fotoblendz mask. The photo was duplicated two more times with the blending modes changed to hard light and vivid light. Transfers from APP Viaggio (a layer mask was added and part of the transfer was brushed out) and APP Ocean Cove were layered behind the photo. The battle layers were merged and duplicated for more definition. The page was completed by adding an edge overlay, stains, splatters, word art and dimensional embellishments.

Thank you for looking!
