I was going for a more quaint look than the archway through a stone/brick wall in the Jan-June Mini Catalog example on page 13. I like the example, but I wanted it to appear more homey. I probably need to lighten the sky a bit, but the sunshine on a picket fence is more my style.
Layered flowers create a generous and full garden look and the pair of bluebirds on the gate add interest as the sun peeks around the sweet rose arbor. I choose to color two colors of hollyhocks on the right (Light Highland Heather and Light Lovely Lipstick) and colored the small daisies as brown-eyed susans, the larger daisy shapes as Purple Coneflower and the spiky flowers on the left as lupines.
Here is a picture of the card standing which I think shows more depth. To create the stand alone look of the arbor, I used a foam adhesive strip (Annual catalog page 183) under the arbor.
