Stampin'up Secret Garden

Hello Everyone

We have now hit November, and summer is certainly here. Today a little visit to Secret Garden.

 




This first version was made as either a card or a stand alone art piece. The base of the design is on natural white card. The backing piece is pool party co'ordinations which has been embossed with the cloud folder. Papers were from print poetry stack, and dsp pad. Flowers and leaves are in primrose, summer starfruit and gumball green, stamped in versamark and clear embossed. The Telephone box is from Feeling sentimental. The sentiments from Sassy salutations and Word play. Pearls and a build-a brad were also used.
The idea of the stand alone piece, is that a photo can be inserted in place of the stamped telephone box image. This would make a lovely end of year memento.

This second version is a mini canvas and also utilises Summer afternoon stamp set.

Card is bashful blue and vanilla with the leaves in olive. paper is also olive. Image is stamped in espresso, coloured with watercolour pencils and an aquabrush and the plant pot is coated in crystal effects.

The flowers are stamped in versamark and embossed with tangerine powder. They are touched up with shimmer paint. The leaves are clear embossed.

Butterflies are die cut with beautiful wing embosslits from marina mist and vellum. A couple of twisted wire strands, a paper daisy, a pearl and some rhinestones for the flower centres finish off.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit today.

Until next time
