What are your garden colors?***Maja Design****

Hello,here is a LO I did combining 3 of Maja's Collections.The photos are of the tree fort garden area that I had planted last spring to go with the Maja Vintage Spring, Summer & the Sofiero Collections. I planted this area with hydrangeas,pink & white inpatients,purple fan flower,blue lobellia & some foliage that was a variegated green & white. It turned out beautiful, I am so happy I did this!!! I used 3 photos to try & show you the different views of this garden,but you really need to be in this garden to be able to see & feel what it is all about. Behind the tree fort is the flowing river,with a beaver dam,so you also have the sound of water.

These are the 3 Collections I used on the LO.

From the Vintage Spring Basics Collection I used: 8th of March-BS,2nd of May-BS, 7th of March-BS,10th of March& some of the BS's of the labels.

From the Vintage Summer Basics Collection I used: 1943

From the Sofiero Collection I used: Exuberance of flowers in Bloom-BS....The Dusty Attic Chipboard used:

Vine Corner #2 (DA0869)

Flutterbies #3 (DA0766)  Here are some closeups of detail.....

I dipped the Vine corner into water,then separated the chipboard (just the leaves). Then I used a heat gun & it curled up the leaves. Once that all dried, I applied decadence TA to the stem & picket fence crackle to the leaves. When the crackle dried, I rubbed in a brown chalk & inked the edges of the leaves.

I cut out the title from the labels of the Collections...

I used my favorite punch & did many distressed.stitched layers...

I also dipped the butterflies in water,then carefully separated the chipboard layers.I used decadence TA,on the body & the under part of the butterfly,then I also used liquid accents on the body. On the wings I used oyster LuminArt'

Here is my next LO I did, using the Stunning Vintage Autumn Basics.I was so excited when I got this Collection, not only because it is soooo Beautiful,but it also has many colors in it,as the rest of my garden does.One of my favorite plants that I plant through out my gardens is Angelica Gigis.It is the plant that I framed, in the decorative scroll.

From the Vintage Autumn Basics I used:No.II. No.II-BS,No.VII, No.V, No.V- BS,No.III-BS,No.IV, No.XXII-BS, The Heritage Sheet & some BS's of the labels.

Vine

Wrought Iron Fence Boarder DA0176

Mini Script Alpha DA0143

Decorative Keyholes 8 Pack DA0224

Decorative Scroll #1 DA0213

Here are some close ups of detail....

I scanned both the door & the under part of the decorative scroll. I printed then on plan paper,then using a non-permanent adhesive, I attached it to the Maja paper's, I wanted to use on those pieces.I cut them out,inked the edges,then glued them on to the chipboard.

I used clear versa mark,then rubbed in a few shades of chalk on to the outer part of the scroll...

On the grape vine I used,bottle distress ink,then applied rock candy crackle & when that dried I rubbed in a few shades of green chalk.

I used pesto ink pad on this part of the door, I also used it on the keyholes & door handle, then inked the edges..

A rolled & pleated corner....

 My Autumn garden is planted different, then the Tree fort Area. I would say that the Tree Fort Area is more feminine,then the rest of my gardens. I only used white, in the tree fort area. Through out the rest of my gardens I use deeper colors & huge foliage plants. What are your favorite garden colors? Thank you so much for taking the time to look....Rachelle
