Spring Planting Notebook

I wanted to create a nice spring notebook for listing any garden information or grocery lists.  I love spring themes, and I love gardens, so this is right up my alley!  There were a lot of little details added so that I can achieve a more realistic look, which I also love simulating.  The dirt on the shovel, fork and in the pot is made from Puffy Velvet Fabric Marker by Marvy.  It is a really fun and easy product to use.  You simply apply it where you want the dimension, let it dry, then heat it with your heat tool until it puffs up.  The rust and moss was created using Smooch pearlized ink.  The wood handles were made by making a small sheet of Woodgrain Background (With a wood grain BG stamp), then cutting my dies out of it.  The metal was made with Quickutz 4″ x 12″ adhesive backed metal sheets.  The sky was made with a cloud template and sponging.  There is nothing hard in this project, but just all the little details which make it come together.  Hope you enjoy.
