Using different scraps from my SU papers of Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder, I created the background.  I used an embossing folder to create the center panel.  If you look closely at the sketch, you will see the different patterns on the layers.  I used the Reverse Confetti Basket die to create the fun layers of the basket.  I used the Stampin Up! Lots of Lavender set for the lavender.  I stamped it four times and colored it with Copic Markers.  I cut all the pieces out with my new Scan N Cut machine.  I tied a big linen thread bow on the front of the basket.  Three pearls were added to complete the sketch.  I always add a sentiment, but with the embossed letters, I decided to just write a personal note inside.  It can be used for any occasion that way.

    What a lovely basket of lavender Claire - and such a great mix of patterns and textures! A scan and cut machine? That sounds fun! I have a Silhouette Cameo, but don't use it anywhere near enough. If only there were more hours in the day! Looking forward to hearing more about your scan and cut adventures!

    Claire, I love your basket of lavender! My mom always had lavender scents around, so this reminds me of her! Your patterns and textures together are wonderful!

    That basket of lavender, against the paper and embossing, looks stunning! I was thinking you must really like fussy cutting when I saw the lavender cut like that but this machine of yours sounds amazing. This is such a pretty creation, Claire.

    Gorgeous card - I can almost smell that basket of lavender. You could even spray it before sending it so the recipient gets a beautiful waft of lavender.

    Claire, I'm in love with your basket of lavender! It reminds me of the lavender farm here on Long Island. A scan-and-cut machine? That's new to me but you've piqued my interest!

    This is lovely, Claire! The mix of purple patterns is very chic and your basket is gorgeous. I especially like the little lace layer and linen bow. Beautiful!!

    Claire - you rocked this color challenge. Your basket is simply stunning. Your new toy did an incredible job of cutting out the elements, too. how exciting to have a new toy that works so well.
