The Weekly Inkling from SplitCoastStampers had a tutorial for a charming little basket last week.  I had an idea I wanted to try but it’s taken me a while to put it together:

• Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom, So Saffron, Barely Banana and Apricot Appeal cardstock
• Various Designer Series Papers
• Scallop, 1  3/8″, 1  1/4″, 1″, and 3/4″ circle punches
• Piercing tool, mat and gold brads
• Sticky Strip and Vanilla Taffeta ribbon

It takes a while to punch all those circles and smush them all up.  If I do it again, I’ll  spritz them with water to make them more pliable.  The brads go right through the center of those stacked up circles and into the side of the basket.

I love the soft, romantic look of these pastel colors.  These baskets would make great bridal shower decorations if you had help putting them together.  Or if you only needed one.  I’m not so sure I would sign up to do a bunch of them myself.
