Challenge No 5 at Lets get Shabby......


Challenge No 5 over at 'Lets get Shabby'.........
Another great and inspiring challenge.....This month the challenge is to make your own embellishments.....(loved this one!!!!)
I have just about finished making my very own album that I plan to keep all the vintage/heritage pages I have been doing......
I decided to do a 'layout' that I am actually going to use for the front cover of my new
album......(must post a piccy when its finished!!!)
So here is my layout with a hand cut/hand made picket gate that I painted then crackled BUT it
didnt work out the way I planned but I loved the effect anyways......I also made the flowers out of an old prayer/hymm book using my scalloped punches....... I have used an old 'Rexona' picture they used for ads that was on an old postcard.......Happy with the end result....
Thanks for another great challenge......
Thanks heaps for looking......
Cheers...

Sensational gate Marg... we must get ourselves some 'fence-contracting' t-shirts for the next retreat. This is absolutely gorgeous, you've put together so many little elements that just work perfectly. And you've used your fav colour!
