This page was actually my sample for the 'photo older than 10 years' challenge but unfortunately I had a sick family and my page sat unfinished on my desk! OOps really sorry for that everyone.
So anyway I finally got it stuck down and finished off. The photo is of my husband and I, the day we moved into a flat together, in London. Little did I know I would be married to him just 3 months later!!!
I love this photo dispite the red eye( note to self- go get a new red eye pen to erase the devil look!) It needed a soft and romantic page and I am so pleased with the final look. It will be put into a frame and hung in our bedroom.
The background paper is from the Botanical Gazette DSP but I wanted to add a little more detail by stamping on it. I must have used all my favourite stamps on this and have to say I am enjoying colouring in at the moment with my stamp and write markers.
The flowers were made by punching tissue paper with both sizes of scallop circle and scrunching them up up to look like pretty soft roses. To make the pearl trails I stamped in versamark to give me a faint shape to follow using the flower stem stamp in the Cottage Garden set.
I hope you like this page and thanks for looking. BTW while you are reading this I am having a ball at Convention in Melbourne!!!!!! (my 1st trip to Ausie) I might have to change my profile pic too as I have lost 17kgs for this adventure!

Liz, this is such a beautiful page. The touches of red look fantastic against the soft, mellow colours of your layout.
