The collection of new garden images in the shoppe will enchant your soul. The colors, textures, and architecture is sure to make your heart find a special secret place. My own mind started wandering to a favorite stories from my childhood: “The Secret Garden”.

I used sandpaper to rough up outside of my box so the paint would stick. Paint several coats of neutral color paint. Inside add book text using gel medium. I added the Magic Door image to one side of the box and collaged images on to that side. On the right side, the lovely domino tile images were added as a border and to give dimension. I wanted to create a window box feel on the right side of the box, so I collaged the beautiful face, and added a distressed frame over. I tucked moss inside (and along the left side rim of the box) and small pretty petals. Word art and charms were also added.
