I had a few ideas but in the end decided to hijack the mint tin hubby keeps on his desk and give it a makeover............I will add at this point that he does appreciate flowers and said he can live with it in it's new format, even if it's not overly practical for a guys desk.
The stamp I have used is Dogwood from Hero Arts which I stamped onto a circle which I first inked with distress inks olive and marmalade and stamped with Hero Arts H2365 Old French Writing as well as a little stamping round the edge with a crackle stamp.
I coloured the flowers with watercolour pencils and decoupaged and finally added some matching ribbon around the edge of the lid.
I also have a second share, a little gift bag which I made using the good old scoreboard, some ribbon and an image from one of this weeks sponsors DigiDarla which is called Poppy Oval. Our other sponsor this week in Pin and Tack so a double reason to join in this week.
I hope you will join us this week and look forward to seeing all your lovely creations.

Your revamped tin looks absolutely stunning, Brenda, and I think your husband is a real gentleman for keeping it on his desk. Come to think of it, my husband would probably react in the same way, so I guess we're both fortunate to have such wonderful husbands. I have some catching up to do on your blog. It's been a crazy week after one of our cats got hit by a car and had to undergo surgery. We finally managed to get her to eat again, so we're hopeful she is going to make a full recovery.
Have a wonderful weekend!

That mint tin is gorgeous - I love the colours & the script background with the crackle & ribbon........ think that might be acceptable on my husband's desk too so I'm glad it was approved of.
The bag is delightful too with the soft red edging of the image panel coupled with the lovely floppy ribbon bow & those corner gems.
Hope you have a good week.

I am off to catch up with the posts I have missed, I hope you are well
