The Secret Garden

VERY nice - this week's challenge from The Library Challenge #43 is The Secret Garden - one of my all-time childhood faves!  I still have my copy - it's very different from this cover, which I've not seen before  - pretty!
With such a cool cover remake, I had to try some color-on-black embossing - I don't heat emboss a lot, but I love the drama when I do, lol.  I tried to go with some garden motifs similar to this cover, and keep things fairly translucent, rather than super opague.  I like the effect, though I'm not sure how cherry this came out, lol.  This sentiment is from 2010's Plant Hope set - and the whole reason I have kept it all this time, lol.
