BBTB2 Challenge 3d flowers on tin

Bitten by the Bug 2 has a 3d flower challenge on currently so I decided to cut a number of the rolled flowers from the Artiste cartridge which is the Cricut cartridge put out by CTMH. Here I have used the flowers to decorate a tin. This was an ordinary can that had fruit salad in. Once used these usually get thrown away but I decided I needed some tool containers so rather than go and buy one I covered this can in ribbon then added the flowers and some thickers I had in my stash from a grab bag. I cut the leaves from the Artiste cartridge also, the CTMH cartridges are very versatile. The altered can makes a good place to store my Cricut tools for when I am working at my desk. If you would like to see the other projects people have entered go and check out Bitten by the Bug 2 and check out what their design team has done as well as what others have entered.
