Elizabeth and John's Engagement

My maternal grandparents' engagement photo taken around 1917

For this layout I used Blue Fern Studios papers for the background and some of the die-cuts.

BFS Sanctuary - Bountiful

BFS Serendipity - Anticipation

BFS Serendipity - Imagination

These are the dies I used:

Spellbinders Captivating Squares

Cheery Lynn Designs Japanese Garden Lace Oval

Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles

Prima Parisian Lace

Tattered Lace Ferns

Cheery Lynn Designs Flourish #13

As usual I layered all the die-cuts over a darker version and offset them slightly to accentuate the edges.




This is the chipboard piece I used:

Dusty Attic - Fancy Trim #7

I painted it white and embossed it with Weathered Wood Distress Embossing Powder.

The lace pieces are from an Etsy store called Tresors de Luxe

GL-019

GL-158

The brown border at the top right and lower left of the photo was an old transparency frame I had in my stash.  It was too small to fit around the photo so I cut it diagonally and covered the gaps with strategically placed flowers and die-cuts.

The flowers are a mixture of Prima and Little Birdie Crafts.

Thank you so much for taking a look!
