The image and bp are from Joanna Sheen's Fashion Boutique cds. The bp looks to have a blue tinge but that is just the scan. I used 2 of the toppers and cut an aperture in the frame of one which I backed with acetate and matted over the other topper. The charm and ribbon are from our local scrap store and cost pennies. the charm is actually an earring blank, I cut the back off added the lady's face from a small topper, some glossy accents and then added the tassel. The lace has been distressed with antique linen distress ink. I couldn't find a happy anniversary stamp anywhere in the chaos that is my craft room so I used a creative acrylic piece, highlited the text with black ink and embossed the back with gold ep. I attached the acrylic piece to a stamped shape from Elusive images (one of their Christmas themeplates but I forget which one) which I stamped with antique linen distress ink and then overstamped with text in the same ink. I added lots of gold ep before the ink dried. I used a few little paper flowers from my stash to finish off.
