• Cast your moulds with quick cure white resin following the directions on the box. I used both moulds from Prima's Among the Wildflowers collection (bunny in a basket, bee, carrots, small birds on cherry tree branch, small stemmed daisy, fence, watering can, garden boots) and the Whispers of Wings (larger birds on a branch) and Timeless Ties (bow) Redesign with Prima moulds.
• Once your moulds are fully cured, prime them with Finn's White or Clear Gesso. 

• After the gesso is dry, add a few drops of water to each watercolor pan you want to use and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften the pigments. I used the Pastel Dreams Watercolor Confections, as well as the black and white pans in The Classics Watercolor Confections from Art Philosophy.
• Do a detailed mould painting on each of your moulds. Remember to work in layers, letting the paint dry in between each layer so you don't end up with a muddy mix. 

• Once your moulds are painted, use your finger to add a bit of Finnabair's Old White Matte Wax to the highlights of the moulds. This will add a shabby, distressed look while also highlighting even more of the texture.
• If you want to add a metallic accent, sponge or paint on some of Finn's Gliding Glue where you want the metallic accent. Wait for this to dry, then apply Finn's Metallic Flakes onto the tacky glue. Brush off the excess flakes. 
• Add some black or brown watery paint to the metallic areas and wipe the excess off with a soft microfiber cloth. This will distress the metallic areas to make them look old and used.
• If you will see the back side of the mould through a side window in the greenhouse, be sure to gesso and paint the back as well. I did this on the shovel and the carrot in the pot.  
• Set your finished moulds aside until we are ready to add them to the greenhouse!

• Create your own custom satin to chalk like finish paint by mixing some of Finnabair's White Gesso with a the Liquid Acrylic in color Nude. Add several drops of this acrylic paint to the gesso and mix. If you want to darken the color a bit, add a couple of drops of Liquid Acrylic in the color Umber. 
• Once you have a light terracotta shade that you like, paint your wooden pots with this color. Don't forget the insides for pots that won't be filled to the brim, like the ones that will appear to be tipped over. 
• After the initial coat of paint, go back over the pots but with a stippling motion with your brush. This will create a texture similar to terracotta. Let these dry.

• Add a few drops of water to a few drops of the Umber Liquid Acrylic. Dab this on to a pot then dab off the excess with a soft microfiber cloth. 
• Add a small amount of moss to the bottom of each pot with hot glue--just enough to cover the hole at the bottom.
• Add some used coffee grounds to a paper cup hit them with a heat tool to ensure they aren't wet. We don't want mold growing in our project 2 years down the road!
• Add a dollop of Finn's Soft Matte Gel to the coffee grounds. You should end up with something that resembles soil, but is sticky. 

• Add the small shovel to one of the pots with a small dot of hot glue. Then add some of the soil mixture around the shovel, filling the pot. 
• Add a bit of moss to the top of the soil.
• Then do the same with one of the carrot moulds, adding it to a pot, adding soil, then a piece of moss on top.

• To add flowers to your pot, start with the ones that have a stem--the Among the Wildflowers Honey Bloom and Sweet Spring Lovely Garden flower packs. Trim down the stems to a shorter length. 
• Add some soil mixture to your pot. 
• For the yellow flowers, leave off the leaf stems and twist the flower buds together and create a little loop at the bottom using some tweezers. Create a divot in the middle of the soil in the pot with your tweezers. Add a small dot of hot glue to the bottom of the stems then push it down into the soil in the pot. Push the soil in the pot around the stem and add a small piece of moss. 
• For the purple flowers, keep each flower stem separated. Add soil to your pot, then push each flower into the soil. Add some moss on top.

• To create a stack of two pots, add hot glue to the bottom of one pot and place it into the second pot, letting it lean to one side. 
• Add soil to the top pot, then add moss to both pots. 
• For pots that are knocked over and spilling soil, add a bit of soil to one side of the pot, then add some more moss to the inside if you want. Don't worry yet bout the soil that spills out into the greenhouse--we'll add that later!
• Once the soil in all of your pots has dried (it shouldn't take long), cut a piece of twine from the Among the Wildflowers Spools of Yarn to about 11 inches long. Put a tiny dot of hot glue just under the lip of a flower pot and stick the center of the twine into the glue. Wrap the twine around the pot and tie it with a double knot. Trim off the excess. 

• Use a mini wooden spool to create some itty bitt spools of yarn. Place a tiny dot of hot glue just under the lip of the wooden spool and stick the end of one of the Spools of Yarn into it. 
• Wrap the twine around the spool until it's covered nicely. Add a dot of hot glue to the spool and push the end of the twine into it, then cut the twine from the large spool.

• Take the cork out of a Tim Holtz Tiny Vial. 
• Use some of the small flowers from the Among the Wildflowers Garden Notes and Sweet Spring Sweet Raindrops flower packs. Place a small dot of hot glue on the back of the flower and place one of your cut off wire stems into the glue.
• Add another dot of hot glue to the top of the stem and place another flower on the back to help it look more finished. 
• Add some Sizzix Liquid Gloss to the Tiny Vial then place the flowers into it to create a "vase."
• Tie some twine around the neck of the Tiny Vial.

• Trace the greenhouse out onto the paper with a pencil. Then measure the width of the wooden sides.
• Use that measurement to create marks and draw a line to subtract that amount from the shape you traced.
• Cut the shape out with your scissors and then dry fit it to check that it fits in the window. 
• Place a few dots of Sizzix Liquid Gloss along the edges of the window and any other "strategic" or hidden spots. Place the paper into the window and press the sots where there is Gloss to push it into the adhesive. 

• If you have a top to your greenhouse, pull the vellum sheet out of the 6x8 Among the Wildflowers paper pad. Trim the vellum to fit in the top section(s) and use the Liquid Gloss again to adhere them into place. 
• Trim some other papers from the 6x8 paper pad to fit any shelves or bottom of your greenhouse/table. Use liquid adhesive to glue these in place. 
• Add some pom pom trim to your greenhouse with hot glue. I started on one side and glued the trim in place, trimming it where needed to let the doors open. Work in small sections so your hot glue doesn't harden before you push your trim into the glue. 

• Start by opening up your greenhouse and laying it on its back. Use Finnabair's Heavy Body Gel to add the moulds to the back of your greenhouse (for me, this was the bunny in a basket, fence, watering can and garden boots). 
• Stand your greenhouse up and then use Heavy Body Gel to glue your flower pots, the second carrot, mini spools and vase into place. 
• Add a chipboard sticker--I used a chipboard sticker that is a label for flower bulbs from the Sweet Spring Chipboard Sticker set. Stick it to a scrap of paper so the backside is pretty. Glue it in place, leaning it against a flower pot. 

• Use tiny dabs of hot glue to add more moss around your moulds and flower pots and the corners of the greenhouse to hide where your paper may not have been cut perfectly. 
• For the knocked over pots, mix up some more soil if you need to (dried coffee grounds + Soft Matte Gel) and then use a palette knife to add more soil onto the floor or shelf in front of your pot.  After the soil is laid down, use a brush and stipple over the soil to make sure it's textured and not flattened out. (Be mindful of doors that close and not put soil in the way of your doors.)

• On the back of your greenhouse, if you have paper. Add a little extra embellishment with foam adhesive and hot glue. I added some Among the Wildflowers Ephemera and flowers (Bloom Market and Lilac Breeze flower packs). I also added some leaves I die cut from green paper from the collection as well.
• To the top sides, add your bird moulds with Heavy Body Gel and small dots of hot glue. 

• Add some of the flowers from Among the Wildflowers to create embellishment clusters around the moulds. I used the Spring Twig, Market Bloom and White Meadow flower packs. I also added die cut leaves to these as well.

• Add some of the Among the Wildflowers Say It In Crystals to the inside and outside of your greenhouse. I live in a really dry climate, so I add an extra dot of liquid adhesive under the gem to help it hold long-term. 
• Pull out two butterflies and 2 bees from the Among the Wildflowers Vellum Ephemera pack. Apply Sizzix Liquid Gloss to the center back of one bee and stick it to the other, then do the same with the butterfly. 
• Once dry, bend the top wings up gently. 

• Glue a nano spinner each to the center back of the bee and butterfly with a tiny dot of Liquid Gloss. 
• Let this sit for a minute then glue the bee to the top of the greenhouse and the butterfly to the front. 
• Let this sit for a minute before testing out the spinner motion!
