Easter Basket Card

There's a lot of firsts that happened with the making of this Easter card. 

This is the first time I've used 3 different Cricut cartridges on one creation. Used Cricut cartidges: Doodlecharms for the basket, Easter 2010 for the Bunny & Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art for the Chick. 

This is first time I've used a metal bottle cap. I bought the metal bottle caps at Hobby Lobby couple wks ago when they were 50% off and then forgot about them. I bought some pre-flattened ones & some not flattened. The purple one I used here was not pre-flattened. Used the Sizzix to flatten the bottlecap. First attempt using the Sizzix platform with both flaps 1 & 2 closed. It flattened it too flat; flat like an oval pancake. 2nd attempt I used the Sizzix platform with both flaps 1 & 2 flipped open.  

This is the first time I've used Oriental Weave embossing folder on  a basket and I liked the look on the basket. 

Added green Easter grass to basket for texture.

Added ribbon to basket.

Added purple glitter to the eggs in basket.

Added wiggles eyes to the bunny & chick.

Added small oval gems to represent jelly beans and for sparkle.

Added purple/white twine.
