I dont know who this couple is, but as I was working on the layout, I decided to think of them secretly running away on a train together . . . properly married of course. Maybe there was religious or class differences their families couldnt get past. Conventions were so different in those days. I also think of them living happily ever after in their unknown destination.

Photo: DesignCuts
Notes: Bringing in the photo and frame, clipping the photo to the mask. Bringing in artsy paper 2 and solid paper 1 as the foundation, blending the solid paper to overlay. Adding the label transfers and clipping transfers from the kit to them, blending the labels to color burn. Then underneath I added the train stamp to establish eye movement down the page.
Underneath these layers I added several transfers and overlays along the right side of the page and blended. I grunged up the frame with an AnnaBlendz brush and changed the shadow a little. I added a stain to the photo and also used the old script stamp and layer mask to the photo layer, to knock out a part of the photo. The architecture stamp was added underneath the left side of the photo.
The bud from the kit was added to the label/transfer at the top and blended to color burn. Over it I added the lock and key stamp and artsy paint, introducing blue to the layout. The MM Lock and Key was placed just underneath the stitching.
A style was added to the title and I added a little shadow and glow underneath the heart below the title and adding the embroidered roses. All of these are over the word art overlay. I believe that just about covers it.
