Roughly sketched out the greenhouse shape, copied to computer and resized, printed it off and used as a template to cut out on Acetate. Okay, won't win any prizes for my designs but could be worse. And wait for it......I used peel offs. Managed to rake out my big box of them, long forgotten but something kept always has a use at sometime.Just perfect for the Aluminium framing.
Set about making the background using stamps I won on the Stampalot challenge back in February. Coloured with Promarkers then attached it to the acetate. Papers are K&Co.
Everything stamped,cut and coloured
Just had to have a gnome, butterflies are Hero Arts
No greenhouse is complete with out the keeper and this is Gus the Painter!!! Closest image I could get to a gardener, just added the accessories to transform him.
Hope your still with me after that heavy post and thanks for dropping by. Love to here what you think. Hope you can join us over on by the cute and girly.
