Impressions Abloom In Color Basket

I decided to use the new Online Exclusive Bundle, Impressions Abloom, available May 6th, for club this month! It's an awesome collection of products that I wanted to share. I also wanted to introduce the new InColors! I found this idea from Debbie Chronister that did both!! I just LOVE the basket concept using the awesome large, wide oval dies. She topped it off with a sentiment from the Greetings for All Ephemera Pack!

Measurements:

Cloud Cover (N): 1/2 sheet
Secret Sea (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
Strawberry Slush (N): Scraps
Darling Duck (N): Scraps
Timid Tiger (N): Scraps
Garden Green: Scraps
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" (front layer);1/4 sheet (stamp flowers)
Woven Textures DSP (N)(OE): 3 1/2" x 4 3/8"

To Make This Card:

Adhere Secret Sea and White layers to folded Cloud Cover card base.
Take the Wide Oval die with the stitching, and die cut out of one of the Woven Textures patterns. It will cut into 2 pieces.
Use "green" glue to add the narrow strip (for the "handle"). Cut the inside oval in half (at approx 2") and add to the inside with Dimensionals, for the "basket",
Now to stamp the flowers! Take the smaller flower "center" and stamp 5 centers on the 1/2 sheet of White, leaving enough space for the flowers to be stamped. (I thought this was a neat way to stamp these!!)
Next, stamp 2 Darling Duck (N) "flowers", 2 Strawberry Slush (N) "flowers", and one Timid Tiger (N) "flower". Die cut with cooresponding die. Set aside.
Next, die cut 1 "larger" flower from Strawberry Slush (N) cardstock, and 2 smaller "flowers" from Darling Duck (N) and Timid Tiger (N) scraps. Set these aside, too.
Lastly, die cut 2 "sprigs" from Garden Green.
Now, to arrange all in the "basket". I added Dimensionals to all "flowers". (Mini ones on the die cut flowers.)
I, first, took one of each color of the flowers, and arranged them on the "edge" of the "basket", as shown.
Then, I added the remaining 2 flowers above, and kind of tucked behind.
Next, I added the solid, die cut flowers.
And, then, I added the greenery. I cut the bottom leaf from each "sprig" to tuck into the arrangement, where needed. I added these with Mini Glue Dots.
I finished with InColor Flat Pearls. Secret Sea for the flower centers. and scattered colors around.
