You really CAN do heritage with an art journal-y style kit. It just takes a little testing and tweaking!
Emma Todd was my 1st cousin twice removed – her mother and my great grandfather were siblings.
Except for the background which consists of paper 19 blended over paper 9, this LO is very straightforward. Once the background satisfied me, I layered over the stamps, spatter, and scatter, then I added the photo and frame. So I don’t get a shadow on the photo, I almost always duplicate the frame and pull the copy back behind the photo, then I apply the shadow layer style. Once the photo was in place, I placed the multi photo kit frame behind the group, then added the flower cluster over the corner along with the title and journal bits.
