Easter Basket



My last week as GD on There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes where this week the challenge is "Let's Make a Basket". The image used is Eggs-traordinary Find by Nina May at Paper Cupcakes which I coloured with Copics. I used the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis punch around the top edge of the basket and also made the handle using this. The image is on the front and back of the basket with Prima flowers and buttons at the ends, I added a ribbon all round and some pink pearls and bows at the corners, finished by filled with chocolate eggs. I have already bought my six granddaughters their Easter eggs so I will give this Easter basket to my daughter. I am also entering this project for the following challenges:
