Created this Easter Basket shaped card using Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge & Gypsy to weld the pieces together.

Used Kraft cardstock for the basket. Embossed the basket with a Cuttlebug embossing folder that reminds me of basket weave pattern. Added green Easter grass to basket. Embossed the eggs with 3 different embossing folders. Used Stamp N Plus chalk on the embossed eggs. Added the eggs to the basket. Stamped sentiment. Punched sentiment on with a Stampin' Up punch. Inked the edges of the sentiment tag. Added a bow.
