Hello,today I am sharing with you a LO I did,using the first photo’s with snow Oct 2014!!! Garden season is over,but this year I made a couple winter gardens,using my purple flowering cabbage,& pine,so I was excited to get the snow to get my photo’s.

I used the “A gift for You Collection” with the Vintage Summer Basics Collection…                                                                   I used: On Christmas Morning & Wrapped in old News Paper, I also used Vintage Summer Basics                                                                                                                  The Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic. Here are some closeups of detail…..My dogs have been on my mind, with winter coming. We love the snow,but I worry about them when it turns really cold. So I guess that is why they ended up in my flower clusters…

The large flower is Bobunny. I used Tim Holtz Die,Festive Greenery,for most of the foliage used on this LO. I cut the pieces,applied rock candy crackle,then dry painted on gesso to bring out the cracks. I then applied MS white texture effects,& while the effects was wet,I sprinkled on some glitter. Milo’s nose was in the snow in the photo & now it is in the effects..I painted the wagon wheel with rock candy crackle,rubbed in the brown chalk,then dry brushed on some gesso & applied texture effects…..

I painted on some plum color wash on to the tiny roses,once that dried I applied some texture effects & glitter….the roses were cream & are IamRoses…

Thank you so much for taking the time to look….Rachelle
