This Lo is of DH's grandmother. This is the only known photo of her { she is the young lady on the right{no hat] }. She died in childbirth when my MIL was only 5 years old. My MIL does not really remember her mother and only came into possession of this photo a couple of years ago { and my MIL is 80 !} The tag behind the photo tells this story . I was trying really hard to just do a monochromatic LO but just couldn't help adding the little brown roses along with the brown letters. The circle punch work was done using Phamil's technique of cutting apart a punched border to make it circular { I LOVE this effect}. I 'm sorta proud of the fact that I used one small flower punch to achieve a bunch of different looks on this LO. It's the small EK Success retro flower punch. I used two layers in an overlapping pattern for the flowers in between the ribbon on the circle. I used the same punch to make the flowers that I decorated the tag with [ and the centers of the torn circle flowers ...aka ..Gabi's flowers} . The flower border around the paper edge was made with a handmade stencil. I simply punched out the retro flower at even intervals on the long edge of a 8 1/2x 11 piece of cardstock and used it as a stencil. I then finished them off with a gem in each center. I also made the leaf vine and all the flowers on this LO. Tfl!
