Winter almost didn't come to this garden. I had masked and added in a candy can/holly/pine bough arrangement that ended up looking busy and then I totally smeared the bg and was ready to trash it but it had already taken a day and a half and I liked the can so I cut off the bg and cut out the arrangement and created another bg. The mixed paper layout and the red can came from a card I loved by andeki found here: Kim A - SC194 Long time Friend by andeki at Splitcoaststampers I had also looked at Charlene's aka Lilluvsstampin pics with Kittie747 and in them Kittie was painting a red can so I tried to do a little scene in honor of her wonderful technique but "BOYS OH BOY!!" it was tough sluggin.
