Shabby Chic Easter project

As some of you will know, I love Shabby Chic style. Here is a little project inspired by something I saw on Pinterest...

I painted a little peat pot, first with gesso and then with Titan Buff acrylic paint. I lined it with printed tissue paper aged with some Vintage Photo Distress ink, made a handle out of raffia wire and added a rose. I filled it with moss (can't see that on the photo), and added an aged rose and some little eggs of course and voila...
