The Flower Challenge is looking for a square card. When my Seagrass Basket from the Greetery arrived this week, I decided to put it to use right away. I already had an envelope filled with die cut and assembled flowers and leaves from the Spellbinder's Bold Blooms.
The basket can be assembled with or without weaving, but I opted to weave it together, it gives it additional dimension. It was die cut from Weathervane cardstock, and I added some ink blending to it to add some character to it. The most time consuming part of the card was getting the florals arranged--so many options! I dry embossed a square die from Ellen Hutson's Essential Squares to create a frame on the Soft Stone square behind the basket full of flowers.
The pretty die cut label is part of the Seagrass Basket die. I found the perfect sentiment for it in Gina K's Beautiful Baskets Additions which I need to put to better use soon!
With late March and April birthdays coming up, this card won't be in the stash for wrong. Most of us in this area are anxious for some consistent Spring weather. I have to admit, however, that winter here has thus far been pretty mild.
In addition to the Flower Challenge, I'm sending this off to the Triple B Challenge--this time for Blooms, and Addicted to Stamps and More: Birthdays.
