You can see Amanda Coleman's blog by clicking on B is for Basket of Kittens to see the instructions on how to create.
Used Kraft cardstock for the basket. The basket reminded me of a Longaberger style basket. Used white cardstock to emboss the Bunny on. Used white glitter cardstock & Spellbinder oval die to make the Bunny look like it was inside a fancy decorated Easter Egg.
Stamped Basic Grey sentiment and added an action wobble to the back of it for hopping wobble fun.
My Crop-A-Dile punch was handy for punching thru the many layers for the holes for handles & brads to attach the handles with.
Front view. Yes you can see the tape holding it together that after I photographed I taped from inside & removed the outside tape.

ReplyDeleteLOVE how your basket turned out! Thanks for including the link to my blog. You are a class act!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Glad to have included your name & link. I had written down your link last yr after Easter and figured I'd give it a try. I had a bit of difficulty on the part about scoring 'between' on the strips after the base is made. I emailed you to find out if you can explain that part to me.
