1978 Bridesmaid

A challenge over at Soul Scrappers was what they call ABC with a twist.  This month the letter was "B" and you had to use buttons.   Here is what I came up with. 
Back on 26 August, 1978 I was a bridesmaid for my friends Judith (Judy) and Keith.  I was 28 years old. I was perming my hair in those days and had it styled for the wedding.   I still have the dress, what you cannot see is that it was long, and had bands of gathering on the skirt.  I wanted to keep the layout quite retro and used years old rubons.  The title was chipboard which I painted with white acrylic paint and then dabbed an ink pad to create texture.  The photos below show result.  I have hidden some rubons and buttons with in the torn edges as well.
Painted white Ink applied

When I was trying to locate date of their wedding I found this little note/envelope from Judy thanking me for being her bridesmaid.  I will certainly be including it in a pocket on the back of this layout.
Apparently vintage is described as being anything from 20 years plus (except wine) - a vintage layout it is then.
Thank you for allowing me some time to reflect on this happy time.  Margaret :)
Updated Sunday 1st March - I have just heard that my layout won a prize at Soul Scrappers. Yippee and thanks to them for selecting this layout.
