Grandmother's Cameo

"Cameo Ladies" is one of the new April releases at Sugar Creek Hollow. As soon as I saw this cameo image, I was reminded of the necklace that was given to me by my mother that was her grandmother's. I chose to only lightly color the image and concentrated more on coloring the cameo background and the frame.

Here's a closer look:
I used K & Company's "Ancestry" design papers with a scrap of old lace and made my own flower. The cameo background is colored with Copic Markers. The frame is painted with Luminarte H20 Egyptian Gold.
For the finishing touch, I included my great grandmother's cameo in the photo.
Thanks for visiting!
