Lovers' Garden - Arch, Lamp-posts, Bench seat.

Third and final instalment...

The fence for the arch was more vintage photo ink and coffee shop mists and the actual arch was silver paint and then roughly inked with black stazon.  I wound the yellow flower spray around the top and secured it with hot glue.  The fence and arch are secured to the garden with hot glue also and the flowers and leaves are used as decoration both sides of the fence but to also cover globs of hot glue!

In keeping with the silver and black for the 'metal' areas the lamp-post near the pond was also given the same treatment as the arch...

The Bench Seat was easy to put together (although be warned - it's harder to colour completely as it's mdf not chipboard) and a great addition teamed with another lamp-post.  The lamp-post has so much detail in the centre of the post part that too much handling by me meant that I snapped it BUT add some 'climbing' roses and hidden hot glue - and you'd never know!

I also added little charms for character - 

a butterfly for the purple rose

some snails - the hot glue looks like snail trail!

lots of geckos hiding and partially hiding 

a dragonfly on the fence and more fish in the pond
