Soartful and 4X4 Friday....

I spent most of last night working on DT sh-tuff but when I took a break... lol,
I made a few things of my own. :O)

Welcome back to another Inspiration Challenge at Soartful.

You are always free to use all or part of the image provided.

Be inspired by this week's theme:

Victorian Vignette

vi·gnette (vn-yt)

n.

1. A decorative design placed at the beginning or end of a book or chapter of a book or along the border of a page.

2. An unbordered picture, often a portrait, that shades off into the surrounding color at the edges.

3.

a. A short, usually descriptive literary sketch.

b. A short scene or incident, as from a movie.

tr.v. vi·gnet·ted, vi·gnet·ting, vi·gnettes

1. To soften the edges of (a picture) in vignette style.

2. To describe in a brief way.

I found this lovely image at Victorian Vignettes

Maritha did some minor altering to the original image.

"This back of a scrap card is so beautiful that it could almost have been the front. It is quite tarnished around the borders, but that kind of adds to its charm rather than ruining it, I think. (I have boldly removed the original contents of the circle and I also manipulated its color a bit to make it easier for you to put your own text or whatever there.) It comes from an 1880's scrapbook."

I can't wait to see how this beautiful card back inspires you.

This is what I did with this lovely... lovely piece:
Greg and I at Christmas last year.
The photographer made sure to get the Engagement Ring in there...
so this is the closest thing we have to an Engagement Photo.
Stamps are from Close to My Heart.
