Easter Basket

I loved the inspiration picture over on the Fusion Challenge.


Such pretty, soft, beautiful roses. Opened up my new WPlus9 Freshcut Florals stamp set to use the tiny flowers that would go with the sweet basket die that I was given as a gift with one of my orders. I had first thought, "I'll never use that", but it's just perfect for an Easter Basket. I thought the basket is a pretty good match for the sketch too.

I used gelatos as my paint - it has a lovely shimmer as I mixed in the metallic purple with the lilac and blue. I added glossy accents to the flower centres and the little dots I had made with a Copic marker.



I made that tiny bow with just the 2 inner prongs of a fork!
