Next we have Leanne's Oh wow just look at this amazing creation!

Leanne painted the background of the Bo Bunny papers Weekend Market which had the world atlas on it and added texture to it. She used a 12x12 canvass board included Charm's Creations embellies and printed her photo onto canvass to blend in with her background and a handmade rosette embellishment. She used texture paste on her brick walls and lightly applied it to her flowers, and used glimmermists to achieve these rich colours.... what an amazing creation ! Next we have Sophie's!
