Ruby Wedding

My Mum asked me to make this Bookatrix Card for my Aunt and Uncle who are celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary this month. The original photo was very pale where it had been bleached by the sun - it was also taken from a distance to include a river. I scanned the pic into PSP and cropped it, then I played with different buttons and managed to get some of the colour restored and finally used the dropper tool to pick up the colour of Jane's outfit to make a frame. I printed it onto Safamat film from Letraset, this let me roll the card without disturbing the picture, the sentiment was done onto Safamet as well. The card is mounted onto Mars Stardream and gold card. I finished off with grosgrain ribbon, some sticky back pearls and two sprays of roses twisted together. I have just realised that I haven't put 40 onto it, doh! I'll do that before posting to Mum. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I appreciate every comment you leave. Beryl x
