Wheelbarrow Father's Day Decor

Created this Wheelbarrow Father's Day decor for my hubby who is the one with the green thumb. My hubby is wonderful at landscaping, planting & caring for the flowers, plants, trees, vegs & fruits we have. Made the 3D wheelbarrow from Cricut Lite Handyman cartridge. Cut each part twice and put together using black cardstock in center. Used Tim Holtz sander & Distress Ink on the pieces before assembling. It can hold candy like the 3 Musketeers candy seen here.

ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

paper:
cardstock - black - on the inside
Tim Holtz core'dinations cardstock -

Pumice stone - gray & Walnut Stain - brown

punch: Fiskars 1 1/2" circle

stamp: Basic Grey
