The inspiration for this layout is this great pic of my son Nick & dear daughter -in-law Stephanie & the beautiful Graphic 45 papers from the "Botanicabella Collection". I fell in love with this line of papers! The background sheet music is from the same collection called "Dragonfly Duet"... thus the Duet title!! I did this layout for the "National Scrapbooking Day Lift the Design Team Challenge" at My Creative Scrapbook. I chose to lift the talented Susan Goetter's "My Girl" layout. She is a true inspiration & I thank her for an awesome design!
I punched the background paper with the Fiskar's Lace border punch. I then inked all edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink.. Shabby Shutters & Black Soot. I made the same border trim for under the matted pic & inked. The decorative accent photo corner was cut using a Cuttlebug die. This too was inked with both colors. I left the name of the paper peeking at the top!
I adhered a black ribbon that across bottom & attached the leafy ribbon on top. The ribbon had white stitching that really did not fit in with the rest of the layout, so I ran the Shabby Shutters ink across the ribbon to bring the green from the papers ... I was happy with the results! The large flower was made with various punches & dies, using card stock & the printed papers used in the layout. The small flowers was made using two punches. All flowers were attached with a brad that was dotted with Lime Green Stickles. I think I have used the same flower die in my last few layouts...I need to move on LOL!! 
The title work is Basic Grey's BonBon chipboard letters that I painted with Ranger black alcohol ink. The flourish is a BossKut die that I cut using my BigShot. All raw edges of the layout was inked with the Shabby Shutters & Black Soot. I then added Lime Green Stickles to highlight the movement of the layout! This layout came together fast! Thanks Susan for such a great designed layout to lift!! I hope nobody tires of wedding layouts... I still have more pics!!
Thanks so much my friends for taking a peek!!

gorgeous layout and don't you just LOVE that punch! I do have trouble with it however being not such a precise person and since this punch is not working as smoothly as the newer generations I don't dig it out as much as it deserves!!
really admire what you were able to do with it!
this is simply gorgeous Lynn!!!
I left an award for you on my blog
