Here are some close ups...

I cut out the inside of Lilac-BS, leaving 1.5 inches on the outside edges, I the distressed the edges & inked them with the Lindys-Midnight

I primed all of the chipboard with black gesso, I did not need to prim the Archival Board, as it is black....

I randomly painted on some DA Raisin, & applied clear crackle paint onto some of the pieces...

Once the crackle had dried I painted on Lindys Magicals:Burgundy, Midnight Rendezvous,& Steel Shimmer,I also died the cheesecloth with the midnight. If you look at the lower right, I had applied pewter liquid pearls onto the Trellis piece, & being right handed, I messed it up as I played around with the rest of the LO....

I glued pieces on the BS of the Lilac sheet, then glued this onto the The Vines-BS sheet.....

I framed the main photo with the Barb Wire Circle Frame, & the 3 profile photos with the Filmstrip, gluing the notebook edge behind....

I altered the Purple Rain Mixology & the Garden Blooms with the Magicals-Burgundy, & Prills-Power Outage as the flower centers....Here are a few more close ups......

Thank you so much for taking the time to look, Happy Halloween.....Rachelle

Here are some close ups....

For the background I used 2 sheets of Beauty Abound, one as the background, & the other for fussy cutting, punch work & matting of the photo...Using the MS punch, I punched out Beauty Abound-BS, & Fly Away-BS, for the top & the bottom of the LO. Using a paper pierce I punched in holes for hand stitching. I also distressed the edges, & glued a piece of corrugated paper into the layers. I cut out the clock & flowers from the 2nd sheet of the Beauty Abound, made a flower cluster & glued on the Butterflies from the Layered Embellishments...

For most of the chipboard I used Versa Mark ink pad-pinecone. For the chipboard-foliage, I painted it with LuminArt-Silk-Iridescent Gold, then stamped the pieces with Gabi's Crackle Texture Stamp & a Black ink pad .....

I inked the Marrakesh Trellis with the Pine cone ink pad, then glued the pieces onto the background. I then glued on some Prills, & Say it in Crystals...The "Hold on ME" comes from the backside of a lable, I used a few of them on this LO...

I altered the Floral Mixology, using a paint brush I applied Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist -Huckleberry on the Ocean Breeze & Dewberry on the Purple rain. I also changed the centers, using say it in crystals & beads. In this cluster I used Floral Mixology, Layered Embellishments, DA Floliage, String of Pearls & Say it in Crystals...

Here are a few more close ups....

I still had the supplies on my table so I decided to make a Thank You card for friends that helped me out with taking photos of our garden. I entered the garden into Canada's 150 Birthday National Garden contest, for the category of a large garden in a City & can proudly say that I won. Our garden will be featured in 3 of Canada's garden magazines. So I kept myself very busy this summer, keeping the garden well maintained & taking lots of photos.......
