I recently watched again one my fav. movies, 'The Bridges of Madison County.' I wondered then if I could put together something for Hel's challenge inspired by the film. Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood certainly acted as if their eyes adored each other!
After watching the film I decided to try to put pieces together that a lover might have kept in a treasure box. The background paper was in my stash and I over stamped it with paperbag studio stamps and words from Tim's collection which I faded out with picket fence stain. Then an image of a woman from paperbag studio's that reminded me of an old photograph of my Mum. The piece of letter in front of blue ribbon was from my stash and I crumpled and aged it with distress ink. The pressed flower was in my garden last year and the locket was a cheapie that I brought in a sale 'just incase I needed it'. The photographs were from a cd of vintage ephemera that I recently became re-aquainted with that seemed to fit the bill! If there is anyone out there who has never seen the film, (!) grab a box of tissues and enjoy. x
