An Easter Basket
Hi to all my favourite people. Hope you are enjoying a nice relaxing Sunday. I have Dinner prepared and washing done , so hopefully I can have some Me time this afternoon. This was my first attempt at this basket and I think it will be a favourite for any season of the year. Easy to construct from a Dutch Doobadoo template. I bought mine from Tracy at Noor design. I filled it with sweets and I will give this one to my hairdresser and they can all get share. I used cream hammered card 350 gsm for the main design, and Teresa Collins papers that I distressed for the finish, added to this some Ivy flourish by Sue Wilson and some sweet roses that I distressed a little with ripe persimmon DI. Lots of Hugs to All of you for bearing with me . Hugs Rita xxxx

Wow Rita, this is an amazing Easter basket, such a lovely gift! and beautifully made. Hope you are feeling much better now Hun. Have a good week.

Oh my, this looks like a very complex & intricate project. It's so lovely with the materials you have chosen to craft with too. Adding those lovely roses with the trailing vines just added more glory. How very sweet of you to make this basket for your hairdresser - she & her staff will enjoy the goodies, but also have a beautiful basket to display when it's all empty (and ready to be filled again) Great job, and glad you are feeling better. TFS
Such a beautiful basket must check the template out
