I covered it with LOTV Country Lady papers and used my Watering Can image to decorate it. The only embellishment is a pearl I added to help lift up the lid as it's magnetic. I also inked around all the edges to age it a bit.
And finally to all my fellow Brits ... HAPPY "GUY FAWKES NIGHT"!
If you're braving the weather tonight and going out with your sparklers, have fun. :0)

Wow! How can I never find nice things like this to alter?! LOVE what you have done hunny, the papers are so lush, and the little bird with the watering can and the seeds are perfect for your intended use. Absolutely brilliant. You are too clever by half! Hugs xx
Ooh this is so gorgeous... what a clever idea! My seeds always end up in little packets on the window ledge - if I had a box like that it'd encourage me so I must have a go. Lovely decoration too.. looks fab!

Wow! So pretty! I've never made anything like this! Well done!
What a lovely idea and so useful too Annette, a lovely place to store your seeds. A perfect stamp and such pretty paper xx
Beautiful and useful - think I need one of these! My seeds currently reside in old Go Ahead bar boxes - very stylish yes?!
The combination of DP and images are just perfect for this and you wouldn't want a lot of embellishment or it wouldn't really be practical.
Big hugs, Kat xx
