In the garden

 Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing the page that I've done for the Keeping the Best sketch #61 reveal. We've got a fabulous sketch to get you inspired.

I used papers from Prima's Fairy Rhymes and Authentique's Lovely collections. I whitewashed the papers with some gesso to tone them down and get a bit of a shabby feel. Using a 3rd Eye butterfly stamp on the background as well, then going back over it with a bit more gesso to try to make it look more like it was already on the paper. Then I went over my layers randomly with a CW mask and Tim Holtz ink in Vintage Photo. I used some photos of a few of my roses that are in my garden. I just love roses; I have seven bushes in my gardens. In my gardens is one of my favorite places to be. I'm entering this with The Memory Nest for their Whimsical Wednesday #6. You can link up any layout or card, new or old that's a favorite of yours to share.

I added some Gina's Designs chickenwire chippies that I simply darkened with the Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink. And the cute little metal gardening tool charms seemed like a perfect addition.

 

And here's the wonderful sketch we have to inspire you from Keeping the Best

Hope you get the chance to join us! Thanks so much for stopping in!
