What Did I do With A Strawberry Crate

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is my turn to host and I would like to see 'Anything But A card', so you can alter something, knit something in fact you can do anything just don't make a card.
Here is what I started with, it's a strawberry crate I got filled with strawberries from the supermarket in the summer, it's a smallish one 11 1/2" x 7 1/2".

I started by inking all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Inks

Then chose my papers from LOTV 'Pressed In Time' paper pad, there is quite a plainish green paper which I used but stamped on it using a Joanna Sheen Rose stamp and also used a LOTV script stamp to make it a bit more interesting.  On the reverse of the sides I used a beige floral paper and stamped a bit of script on them.

 For the bottom of the crate I chose a paper with a large floral pattern to make a focal point, matted and layered it on top of some other neutral patterned paper.

Then using the Rose stamp, I stamped out three roses, cutting two out and decoupaging them, added glamour dust for a bit of sparkle, I had to get some in somewhere LOL!  Then to finish off a couple of Butterflies.  Voila! A nice sturdy tray to maybe house my heat gun etc in.

Don't forget to head over to Allsorts for all the details of this challenge, and to check out all the fabulous inspiration from my very talented team mates.
