Family Tree Picture Step by Step:

Step 1:

Cut the large ornate frame in the ivory cardstock.

Step 2:

Emboss the centre from the ornate frame using an embossing folder.

Step 3:

Cut a piece of Kraft card a little larger than the frame, and glue the frame onto the kraft card. Next, attach the embossed centre of the frame using foam pads.

Step 4:

Die-cut the elements shown from the Family Tree die set, or use similar style dies from your own collection.
