This week Julie has chosen the "Home is where the boat is blog" and their collection of Pinterest boards
Where I found this darling decorated gate on the Deck the halls board. I don't know why it does not show her board where I found it rather than the place where she pinned it from but, I am not going to fight with the site to give me the right link.
So, I started with this Impression Obsession gate die cutting it from a scrap that I thought was black but realized after the fact that it was more of a dark grey. (it's been over cast and storming here all day)
And then I pulled out the entire box of "Christmas Foliage dies" ha ha looking for small pieces to play with that card above is A2 in real life so, although the gate is much larger than the fence from IO it's not a huge gate by any means. I did consider making this a tag rather than a card but, as I was poking around I found this half a wreath in the Hero Arts Kit of the month from November 2022 and used that as the main base to the garland, adding in holly leaves from both the Spellbinders Noel & Joy sets, the poinsettias here are from the Spellbinders Holly frame set and the Be Merry is from the Spellbinders naughty or nice set. That tied hemp string was something that almost went onto the pinecone card from this morning and then I added some opal pearl liquid pearls to the centers of the flowers. I did dig out my old Tim Holtz bricks background but, I had this cut and scored piece of woodgrain sitting on the table for a while now and decided I liked how that looked as a more clean-er version of the IC shot. That's about it from me, if you'd like to play along with us you can
find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
