Fall Basket of Blessings

Here is a new "Holiday Basket" I did inspired by a photo of a fall basket online that had the different strips stained in gorgeous fall colors! I used E07 for the brick colored vertical strips and YG91 Putty and W-3 on two rows of the horizontal and E13 on the other two. Just alternate between strips to make the pattern consistent. The I used the same reddish brown and beiges on the puppies. Cardstock is Pure Luxury Kraft, Lipstick Red, and White. I used Basic Grey Manila for the sentiment tag and paper piecing the liner of the basket (that and the dogs are from "Basket Buddies") Use some W-3 on either side of the patterned paper to add dimension to the piecing. Greeting is from "Basket Blessings", I thought that went so sweetly with the puppies and flowers. The blessings make it a nice card for Fall/Thanksgiving. :) These two sunflowers are trimmed out of the flower bunch in "Holiday Basket" and popped up on foam dots.

I pierced a row of dots with my Scor-Bug and Scor-Buddy at the top and bottom, across the wonky layers, and added some Taupe May Arts silk ribbon that matches the Kraft, making a nice bow with the Bow Easy (secured with a glue dot).

Have a great week!
