05/01/10 Heartwarming Vintage/Crafty Secrets bi-weekly challenge

I made this Shadowbox for the  Heartwarming Vintage/Crafty Secrets bi-weekly challenge Jan and I are hosting at Paper Craft Planet.  If you love Crafty Secrets Products, this is the group for you!  Jan has challenged us to use a photo in our project.  This is my favorite photo of my Mother and Father in law taken while they were dating in Italy. 

I used the Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps- Family, along with the Accucut Shadow Box Portrait Designed by Vicki Chrisman.  The lace paper is Karen Foster antique lace, lace, Victoria Lynn ribbon rose, flowers and ribbon from JoAnns, heart shaped button from my button box.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Screens Fanciful with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Coffee Shop, and Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Ink Antique Linen.  Thanks for looking, ~Diane

I am so excited to share this with you!  This was such a thrill to work on too.  My friend Jan at Papercraft Pleasures gave me one of her Accucut Die cuts to work with.  This Shadow Box is such a gorgeous lay out to work with.  Sorry if I am showing off with all my pictures, but I had to get you all the views, there are so many views to see!  The Paper is my favorite Graphics 45, it has such a romantic feel to it.  The photo's are from
Dover Electronic Clip Art - Victorian Fashion Accessories, this is the first time I have used any of the images.  I used the Sepia tones to print them out in Word, to give them more of a Vintage look.   The cameo charm is from Blue Moon's Madame Delphines Collection.  I used Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Ink  in Tea Dye to age all the edges and the white satin ribbon.  I cut the letters with Cricut Plantin Schoolbook.   The garden image is from an old garden book on Victory Gardens, mixing Era's just a little.  The lace trims are the stash of hand crocheted I bought a while back, they were old so they needed no aging.  The pearls are from JoAnns.  Thank you Jan for the opportunity to work with this lovely Accucut Die Cut, and as always, thanks for looking, ~Diane
