Thankful

Hello crafters!  You may recall seeing this one during the blog launch, but I wanted to give you a closer view of it.  Although it is rather clean and simple in it's styling, it is really full of loads of detail.  From the Bushel Basket die set, I cut and assembled three of the  baskets out of taupe card.  I inked all three very lightly with Antique Linen to age them a bit.  I used the fruit and vegetables from the Wooden Garden Cart die set.  The first basket I decided to fill with carrots.  I cut about 10 to 12 of them and inked them with Spiced Marmalade distress oxide.  I used the matching Distress marker to add some detail lines to the carrots.  The tops were inked with Forest Moss distress ink.  I glued all the carrots into the basket and added mounting foam to the back of it.  The next basket was filled with artichokes that I cut out of dark green card.  The last basket was filled with apples that I cut out of red card. I cut the matching tops out of green card then glued them to the top before assembling the apples in the basket.  I added all three baskets to a wide strip of coconut white card that had a black mat added to it.  I cut a larger piece of white card and attached it just above centre.  I cut the sentiment from the Mix and Match Friendship sentiment die set in black and glued it below.  White on white mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
