My daughter loves gardening.  Whenever she visits me or her grandmother, she heads for the garden to see what she can harvest for her own garden. So I made her this Watering Can.

I did some partial painting with Black Gesso and Tim Holtz Acrylic Distress Paint, in the areas where I wanted to adhere the fussy cuts.  I then adhered the fussy cuts and words with gel medium.  Once that was dry, I sealed everything with a sealant and applied some Rose Gold Prima Gilding Paste.
She loves it, and is now proudly displayed at her house for all the admire.

I just LOVE this C84 Vintage Elegance from #FabScraps.
This Box Frame card was made for a very special 60th birthday.
