Birthday basket for the gardener

After seeing Suzanne Dean's picnic basket for yesterday's TIOT I knew I had to give the Paper Trey Timeless Template a try and the brand new August Happy Birthday set from ODBD was perfect for my project.

After printing out the template on cardstock and cutting and scoring this was my end result:

The Prima Chelsea Windsor Rose was a light pink and I wanted a deeper pink so I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist to make it coordinate better with my colors.

I removed the seeds from their original packets and placed them in small cellophane envelopes and labeled each one. I also used scriptures from Scripture Collection 1, Fruit of the Spirit and Grow in Grace for the seed labels. ?

I cut out the planting directions and helpful tips from the original packets and adhered them to the back of my labels.
