Forever... Special Proposal

This is a layout I did for my sister and her husband as a present. This is a picture right after he proposed to her.
Ms. Gabrielle Pollacco designed the layout and you can view it here:

I loved what she did with this layout, so I didn't do too much to change it. I used her texture paste recipe on her blog http://gabriellepollacco.blogspot.ca/. I used my Silhouette to alter the free shape for the large background rose and the word "Forever", and created the blue border flourish under the picture. I used several adhesives: Golden Regular Gel (Semi-Gloss), Aleene's Original Tacky Glue, Elmer's Permanent Tape Runner, and Ranger Glossy accents. I also used a lot of Solar Gold Pearl Ex on this layout over Versamark ink. The flower flourishes in Pearl Ex is an Inkadinkado stamp not listed, and the texture paste stencil I used around the photo is a Mod Podge Peel and Stick pattern. Liquidex acrylic gesso painted over cardboard, and watercolor pencils anywhere there's a pink tint along with Prima Color Bloom Ginger Coral (not listed in the online store). Check out Mammatiffy's profile here at scrapbook.com and her blog - she recently did a live demonstration using Prima watercolor pencils: http://www.stampingattiffanys.blogspot.com/
I got the metal embellishments and roses from Scrapbook Super Station.
