Now when I think of black and white images I remember all of the old photos that I have of my ancestors that I have pulled out of old trunks from the basement and the attic. These photos that I have are not a true black and white but a brownish and cream in color. So I have done my image in the brown tones to make my card look as if it was pulled out of an old trunk of long ago days gone by.

Janiel,
You did a fabulous job! Love the sepia tones and all the gorgeous layers of embellishments :)
Gorgeous card, I love the single tone of it and all the little embellies go so well. Beautiful shading too.
A really beautiful card. love all the special details. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. Angela
Hi Janny! I love the way you set this card up! The pearls and antique book are wonderful! Your coloring is impeccable! Love how you used so many design elements to give this card an old world charm. This card is gorgeous! We all struggle (most of the time) to create a superb card, and I think most of us settle for "job well done". Your struggle to pull this card together is not at all evident! Your work is fabulous! Hugs...Barb
So very pretty Janiel - you do it all so well. Your design work is always amazing as is your coloring. Boy Barb sure is wordy - I can never think of all those words to say. I guess that's why I am not writing a book. Great staging!!
