Floral basket

This is my first post for several weeks, not counting the Shades of Blue card, which was a scheduled post. We’ve had guests, I was heavily involved in my dragon boating and with really nice weather I wasn’t too inclined to spend time indoors. Today is a downtime day for both of us, as we are quite tired after all the dashing about etc.

For me downtime, means craft time so I got busy and made this card. Double D’s moodboard is florals and baskets, and CYHTP is basically an anything goes as long an EF is used. The optional twist is stripes and or checks but I didn’t take that part of the challenge.

The folder I used is from Life Style Crafts, my basket used a stamp set I’ve had for a long time and not used very much. Don’t know why as it allows me to build several sizes of baskets with layering stamps. I won this set from Kitchen Sink stamps if I’m recalling correctly. I added a scrap piece of PP at the bottom of my embossed section and added the panel to the card front. The inked frame is a leftover from another project. After stamping my basket I fussy cut it and added foam tape before attaching on top. My flowers and leaves are built from two Memory Box sets using scraps from photos I cut up. Once they were arranged I added some flat back pearls. For now I’m not adding a sentiment as I’m uncertain as to how I shall be using it.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it.

    1. Thanks, Between my hubby and a friend, I keep getting the odd photo that didn’t print well and am finding ways to use them besides as a background.

  4. What a lovely flower basket. The flowers are so cheery. I don’t think it needs a sentiment – a sentiment on the inside can convey the message.

  7. It sounds like you had a very busy summer so far, but I am glad that you had some downtime to make this card. Downtime for me is the same and so relaxing. I am amazed that you were able to put this card together after all of the business. But you did an amazing job. I love the colorful flowers on that background. No sentiment needed. Thanks for sharing it with us at Double D Challenge.
