    Designer Anna Griffin says black accents are the perfect complement to heritage photos. Here, Griffin creates a stunning page that would make her ancestors proud!

    Materials:

    1 sheet AG059 Black Repousse
    2 sheets AG061 Black/Cream Toile
    1 sheet AG060 Black/Cream Stripes
    1 sheet AG070 Cream Repousse
    1 sheet AG029 Gold Solid
    1 sheet 12" x 12" Black solid
    Adhesive
    Craft knife
    T-square
    Black satin ribbon

    1. Begin with black solid as a base. Layer several of the papers (trimming slightly so the layer below is exposed) over the black. To keep the papers (which are very similar in color) from blending together, layer a piece of gold solid between.

    2. To create a border on all four sides (the paper only has a border on two sides), cut a piece of toile patterned paper diagonally to create an "X" (figure A). Use the triangular pieces of paper to cover the top and bottom quadrant of matching paper. Adhere.

    3. Begin pleating a strips of black patterned paper into a circular shape (figure B). Once the "medallion" is complete, adhere behind heritage photo (figure C).

    4. Add a long ribbon "hanger" to the page, then adhere medallion and photo over the ribbon.

    5. Insert a paper ribbon horizontally through the top loop of each ribbon hanger and adhere to page.

    6. Embellish and journal as desired.
