Two features my parents at their wedding dinner. I love this photo of them....they looked a little shy...about to start their life journey together.

This was done on a piece of 12x12 clear acrylic...if you look carefully, you can see a clear border between the white lace and the red paper. I inked the edges of the acrylic piece with two shades of Stazon (you can't see from the photo) because the distressed edges of the outermost border was not completely glued down (to create a little extra dimension). The Graphic 45 papers were inked with various distress inks. The buttons were originally white - I inked it with Stazon for the aged look. I made a floral bow (tied a bow twice) and added 2 twirled paper flowers. I snipped the petals, inked them, then folded some of them down to show the backside of the patterned paper.
