Arbour



I've made this card over a few days, adding bits and pieces when I think of something else!
It's a drawng of the arbour in my garden where I relax when I get the chance.The image is available from here.
My actual arbour isn't painted blue but I thought it suited this card better in blue. I've added lots of detail, some of which is only visible in close up.
I made the little roses on the climber by coiling a small spiral punched shape and gave the white flowers some depth by using an embossing tool.
There is glossy accents on the tumbler,bowl and plant pot, as well as glitter on one of the plants.
