I started by using The Greetery's Seagrass Basket dies from kraft cs and then had fun filling it with The Greetery's BotaniCuts: Crocus flowers which have lots of layers to them. I die cut them from white cs and then used DOX inks to color them up. I also added a couple sprigs of Baby's Breath (also The Greetery) to fill in the basket a bit more. I did add some glitter to the baby's breath but it's a little hard to see in my photos.
I used some more kraft cs to add a die cut circle and square (Penny Black - Stitched Square & Circles) for my background and then adhered to a 5 x 5 white card base. I finished with a sentiment on the basket that's from Gina K's Beautiful Basket Additions.
We look forward to seeing what YOU come up with by adding LAYERS to your cards, and there's lots of inspiration from the DT that you can see HERE to get you started. This challenge is open till Thursday, April 25th @ 5:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Layer upon layer of beauty! The basket is a work of art itself, and then filled with the crocus and baby's breath it makes my eyes very happy. The circle nicely highlights the basket and the square grounds all of it. Pure delight, Marcia!
