ScrapFIT: Workout #21... Machine.

This is for ScrapFIT: Workout #21... Machine

You needed to use a machine of some sort in creating your layout.
I used a Sewing Machine.
I also used this Sketch from over at For the Luv of Art
I liked the strips of sewing and thought it would work well for the ribbons I wanted to attach.

These are pictures from the Celtic Betrothal Handfasting Ceremony we held last September.
We were supposed to be married that day but one of my sons had major medical issues over the year so we decided to postpone the wedding for a year, so we'd have time to prepare.
We wanted to celebrate since a year's a long time to wait, so we held a Bethrothal Handfasting Ceremony.
Our Pastor blessed our vow to be married a year from the day, all our friends & family publicly promised to help us keep our vow and then everyone there (and a few that were sent in lieu) tied their own ribbon around our joined hands to help seal the Vow.
Then we parties Celtic Style lost of cider, spice cake and fiddly-diddly music.
It was a Very Special Day.

ScrapFIT #20 & For the Luv of Art Challenge...

I combined 2 challenges for this page:

ScrapFIT: Workout #20
CARDSTOCK ONLY!!!
&
For the Luv of ART Week #1
Create a Layout using the site's banner as your inspiration!

This the Banner:

and... this is my page:

I started with a pale yellow CardStock... I stamped it with polka dots in white, heat embossed with pale yellow. I then rubbed white chalk over large portions of the page and grey in stripes You can see the background of the LogoBanner better on-site...
BIGGER is better! lol
I then stamped on a french script stamp lightly with a pale, pale grey, here & there.
I smudged in white paint under the spot for the photo and around the edges of the page.

I copied the mixed-letter title from the Banner... GREAT use for leftover rub-ons.
Some of the title is Rub-Ons and some are embossed stamped letters.
My journaling is in the same blue as the banner.
The Flags are also stamped with the white ink, heat embossed with the pale yellow, hung on a black hemp 'rope'.
Finishing off the page base by rubbing a darker yellow chalk over sections.
MESSY HANDS!!!
