I love this photo of my Dad when he was a teenager riding his bicycle in the tobacco field. I cut a piece of Blue Fern chipboard from their Tangier Panel and embossed it with aged embossing powder and placed that over some rough cut burlap. The splats were made with Lindy's capped with an old baldy cap.
Random punching around the edges completes the masculine and aged look.

I randomly applied copper embossing powder to the flower to give it some "pizazz"! The corner chippy is ScrapFx and is topped with a Websters cameo. The bottlecap came in the Embellishment addon.
I painted the wings of this Dusty Attic chippy with Inklingz powder blue (in the main kit) and then embossed the body with Stampedous aged gold. The metal flower also has aged gold embossing powder on it.
The flower is from the flower add on and I gave it a quick spritz with Lindy's to color it. The bottlecap and quote inside it are from the embellishment add on.

We had a discussion on the forums the other day about the plastic boxes in which produce is often packaged. So that gave me the idea to make a gift box from a plastic lettuce box. Here's one that I did using papers, Kaisercraft paper blooms and the resin butterfly from the kit. The large flower is handmade using cardstock from the kit and the greenery and blow is from my stash. Tomorrow on the Swirlydoos blog I will have a start to finish video on altering this box. I hope you have time to check it out!
