Vintage Layout

This is a photo of my great grandmother when she was about sixteen years old. The background piece is a light cream colour from the Bazzil Swiss Cardstock range. The edges are distressed and inked in dark brown. A piece from the Making Memories Paperie range notepad (brown) is used on the right side with part of it under the photo. a piece of vintage lace is also partly under the photo. A thinner piece of a different vintage lace is across the bottom and stapled to the page. Large white flower in corner of photo. A piece of brown organza ribbon folded in a circular motion with a pearl added to the centre. Many, many glue dots to keep that one to stay where it is!!! Buttons sewn onto the page with dark brown thread. Scalloped bracket is painted with crackle paint. Light cream underneath with a dark brown over the top. Three pearls added to the scalloped bracket. Two smaller flowers underneath the large flower. Pearls also added to the centre of these. Dark brown ribbon pieces attached to the top left corner of the photo. Three dark brown pearls on the top of the photo. The journalling is done on the part of the brown paperie notepad piece. Title is from Adorn It- Carolees Creations letters inked with dark brown around the edges. They are then covered in dimensional magic. The scalloped bracket is also covered in dimensional magic.
