This one is a basket weave which I used for a floral arrangement. To make the basket, I used the label punch and snipped off the point on the bottom. After punching out some "ferns" with a Martha Stewart punch, I taped them to the back of the basket to hold them in place. I then mounted the basket to a rectangular piece of cs.
Next, I proceeded to "fill" the basket with leaves and flowers using my peg stamps until I was satisfied with the look. I then added the dragonfly and painted the wings with Wink of Stella for a little sparkle. Since the dsp I used had triangles, I added three rhinestones in a triangle to finish it off.
This card went out to a friend who had to have her dog put to sleep yesterday.

A pretty bouquet! Love that embossed basket! Great idea, Doris!
Thank you for creating -- and sharing! -- the embossed basket, I had not yet figured out how to do it. It adds just the right amount of texture to the card. Thanks again!
I haven't pulled my peg stamps out in such a long time - you have inspired me!!
How nice of you to send a card to your friend - no one should forget the depth of the grief of losing a pet.
