    For my project today, I wanted to show a little different idea of how this fabulous Seed Packet could be used, as well as the Garden Tag Set!  I had purchased this picket fence container several months ago from a thrift store, as I knew I would give it a purpose one day! I then bought an inexpensive bunch of silk sunflowers from Michael's, cut and arranged them in my container, leaving room for my Seed Packet, to which I attached  a wood floral pick.  I added the gingham ribbon from my stash, and then tied on the tag with some raffia, also from my stash.  The sets I used are:  Seed Packet, Garden Tag, and  one of last fall's release, Harvest Blessings.  I also cut my sunflowers out in a flash with the Large Sunflower die made exclusively for this set.   All images are stamped with Memento, colored with Copics, sponged with T Holtz Distress Ink in Forest Moss and Antique Linen, and  the seed packet was spritzed with water after sponging.

    I hope you enjoyed my project! 

    From here, you will hop to  sweet and so talented Sabrina's Blog!   Thanks for stopping and enjoy the rest of the hop!
