Time for another challenge at Try it on Tuesday and this fortnights theme is 'How Does your Garden Grow' so we would love to see what's in your Garden - Flowers, Fruit Trees, and it's up to you what you make as long as you follow the theme.
This was actually a cigar box, I was given a larger cigar box and inside there were 3 boxes, they still had the wrappers and red ribbons in the boxes.
This was the original
The rest of the DT are showing some great gardening skills, so please pop over to take a look.

Love your altered cigar box! The blue background really makes those gorgeous garden flowers bloom! Love it and what a great find!
ReplyDeleteLoving this altered cigar box Avril... perfect colouring and images too.. and what a fabulous paper weight it's made!
ReplyDeleteNow.... I have a bag of stamps that I wonder if you'd be interested in.... they're your type.... and I've had them for years and not touched them.... They are from a company in the States and I got them when I was over there... but they're much more your type than mine. Email me if you like and I can give you more details and a pic or two. I was going to put them on Crafty Sellers if you're not interested but keep on thinking to mention them to you.
Big hugs
