Ancient Yew

On our recent trip to see Katie in Wales, we stopped off at Powis Castle on the way.  In the gardens were many amazing yew trees, knowing how slowly they grow I think they must have been extremely old.  Some were so ancient  that they had hidden shady dens inside.

The trees formed a strange lumpy hedge below the castle keep within the beautiful gardens.  I made use of some very old stash to make this layout...I love it when I make a dent into it.

The page formed the second of a two page layout, so I used similar papers to form a DLO. They were by Amy Butler, I think I bought them around 10 years ago!

Washi tape, wooden buttons, Thickers and enamel dots brought the layout more up to date.
