Bottle Tree

What an amazing layout and the wonderful journaling which brings the layout to life! The photo of the tree is amazing, I loved learning all about it, and I love the awesome way you nestled the pretty framed photo into the leaves of the flowering tree. Can I grow one of these in the Ozarks of the USA?

Fascinating!! I'm so glad you included the flower inset, I wouldn't have guessed they'd look like that. Your description and info about the Council adds such wonderful detail. I love how you layered the leaf and flower elements and that alpha! Oh it's just grand; did you build it?! I'm really loving the paper layers/framing of the flowers and that mask you chose, too. So Glitherworthy!!

The journaling is awesome on this. I love the branch down around the picture. I can't decide if you extracted it or if it is an element. The little flowers are a lovely addition. The subtle use of the mask around the leaves is such a lovely touch. Beautiful work, Jill.>>
