Birthday treat

-


Have just made this seed box for my lovely brother inlaws 70th birthday today he loves his seeds and particularly unusual vegetable seeds which are enclosed and I forgot to photograph but they consist of seeds like yellow striped aubergines ,yellow mangetout, black radish and strawberry spinach but my favourite were the chilli seeds named chilli willy they grow just like one LOL
Anyway it was a book shaped undecorated box I got from QD for a couple of quid painted it with some mixed mediums and the metal embossed title is a little thing Nicks taught me to do a while back during a visit to her lovely home

Sunday Stampers put a frame on it . Used distress inks and stains abandoned coral mermaid lagoon cracked pistachio dried marigold wild honey seedless preserve dusty concord tumbled glass squeezed lemonade . Used Kaiser Kraft stamps and a swirl from paper artsy . The butterfly and flowers are Tim Holtz large alteration dies . Made a change from Browns and purples . Crackle accents on the frame and treasure gold here and there . Think I would have put some more flowers on but I ran out of time ,really enjoyed doing this and finally cracked my rose centers thanks to Pauline Wheeler visiting our Lovely town . Had a really couple of bad days so this cheered me up . Happy days xx
