Clean & Simple Easter Basket

So, I wanted a clean & simple card for my Senior Center gals using the Easter Basket bundle. I knew that "weaving" the basket wouldn't be a possibility, so I utilized the Woven Textures DSP for the basket instead. LOVE how it turned out! We had to have a "chocolate bunny", and I used the Pastel Shimmer papers for all the other components. They loved it!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 1/4 sheet (arch)
Easter Joy (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (green print)
Woven Textures DSP: 3" x 4" (white wicker)
Pastel Shimmer Cardstock (OE): various scraps
Summer Splash: scrap (grass)
Pecan Pie: scrap (bunny)

To Make This Card:

Adhere green DSP to folded White card. Note: This DSP has a tendency to curl so don't skimp on the adhesive!
Next, die cut arch from 1/4 sheet of White. Adhere to front of card.
Then, die cut the "basket" from DSP.
Stamp "bunny" in Early Espresso ink onto scrap of Pecan Pie. Die cut with corresponding die.
Now, die cut 3 eggs from the 3 colors of Pastel Shimmer, one scallop from Lemon Lolly, and the "bow" from Pink.
Originally, I die cut the sentiment from a die, but then discovered the Three Banner Punch worked better! So, I used that in class.
Next, assemble the "basket" with the "grass", "scallop", and "chocolate bunny". Then, adhere to "arch" on the front of card with Dimensionals, including a Mini one at the top of the "handle". (You'll hide it with the die cut "bow".)
Finish the basket, but adhering, and tucking in the 3 eggs, and adding the "bow" to the top of the "handle".
I stamped the sentiment in Black ink and then ended up punching it out.
I finished with a Pretty in Pink Flat Pearl as the "knot" on the "bow", and scattered Summer Splash Flat Pearls.
For the inside, I stamped 3 "eggs" in Basic Gray & die cut them.
