A basket of flowers card


This was another tricky card to make. Again from a Ribbonbox kit that I had stored away a few years ago.

The basket and handle had to be completely covered in glitter which made everything else around sparkly!! Then I had to pull the strings in the blue ribbon to make a pull bow with 5 loops. Next 3 green paper leaves and 3 lace leaves were stuck on. Then the tricky bit!! Each of the flowers is made from ribbon. I had to fold and sew and then pull the thread up tight to make flowers with 3 petals. A gem was stuck in the centre and some beads underneath the gem. Finally these were glued over the top of the leaves and bow. Then some paper butterflies and and small flowers were added.

It really is a lovely card. And there is an added bonus...the ribbon flowers are scented!! The purple is lavender, the pink is rose and the yellow is lemon.
