These two sisters are part of my "adopted relatives" collection of photographs. I love their solemn looks, the prim way that they pose and their beautifully starched dresses. I thought that they needed a vintage background for their home so I layered scrapbook papers, pages out of the telephone book and napkins with a darker coloured beeswax and used my Tim Holtz distressed ink to add a bit of distressing throughout. This is my entry for the Lots to Do Challenge this week.
