Basket of flowers

My card making groups challenge this week was to use a basket on your card.  I haven't used this Gina K stamp set in quite sometime, so I decided to make my girlfriends card with it.  I don't make many 5 inch cards but I plan on dropping this off on her porch along with her gift, so it doesn't have to go through the mail :)


The flowers are separate from the basket as are the handles, you can leave them off if you like, I attached mine with brads.  The extra flower and leaf I colored up to go with my sentiment, that I lifted up in the middle to make it look like a banner flowing in the wind.  Cut a crochet border for the basket to sit on.  Everything was fussy cut. The flowers in the basket have been popped up.

Wow, this just might be my favorite card you made That basket is awesome and looks so 3D. The pop of sunflowers adds to the 3D look.

That's a super cute basket stamp and the handles and brads give it a ton of dimension. Also adding dimension is the way you colored it, plus having the flowers popped up. Love the designer paper which I do have. I have so much paper that I forget about the pads further back in the bins. I need to rotate. Thanks for this lovely sunshiny card, Connie!
