Basket Full of Blooms

My Flower Layers #2 Die and Texture Plates were still sitting out on my work area - so I decided to put them to good use and turn them into flowers to put inside of my Die Cut Blooms Basket. To add texture to my card stock, I ran the card stock through my Texture Plates using the Big Shot, then cut the card stock using the Flower Die #2. Add color to the raised areas using a sponge dauber and inks. Punch a hole in the center using your Crop-a-Dile, then slide in your DumDum - instant flowers! The leaves are created by running Olive card card stock through the Texture plates then cutting them with the Large Oval Punch. Again, punch a hole with your Crop-a-Dile and slide it onto the DumDum stick, easy peasy!

I placed a piece of styrofoam inside my basket, added some crumpled Cocoa card stock to hide the foam, tied on my Chocolate Grosgrain and added the die cut flower from the Basket & Blooms Die Cut.

I think these make cute little baskets!

ETA - I've had quite a few emails asking about the flower die I used - it's the Flowers Layers #2 Die (it's not in the SU Catalog). I'll be posting this project again later this week using the Flowers Daisies #2.
