This is inside our garage looking towards the window at the back. (Actually, it's out in the garden coz its nice and sunny!) I have finally added everything I think I can add to this Card and it still folds flat! It's called a Bench Card and here's Sam Calcotts YouTube Toturial on how to make it. Sam made a garden shed bench, so go watch!
I used mostly wood effect paper/card which I then drew in some brickwork and heaverly covered in Tim Holtz Distress Ink, vintage photo. I made the window, lined it with acetate and a drawing of the hedge/fence at the back of our garden. The little window handles are bits of some old earrings. (I knew they'd come in handy one day!) The bits on the bench I found in John's bin in the garage. The clock is made from stamping onto Shrink Plactic. There's bits of fussy cutting from Paper Nation, odd brads for tools, jug and the padlock and of course stamped shelves, which actually had crafting things on them but I don't think that matters! My craft room is just as messy as John's garage!

Yep...you'll probably even find a spider's web in a corner! What wasn't there until yesterday, some wire, the chain and the mice. Seeing this card kinda was the predecessor or forerunner? from the card below, it didn't have the mice as I didn't have the mice! (Lawn Fawn) But I wanted to add them as John's red tool trolly is really close by and I'm sure the mice would have just as much fun on his bench as they do running around this tool trolly! and, we've had hedgehogs and even a Blackbird's nesting in the garage! Thank you for stopping by! Later hope to add to some...
