Paper Easter Basket - 3-D Wednesday at My Creative Time (Plus a Winner)

It is time for another 3-D Wednesday on the My Creative Time blog.  I made this super fun Easter Basket with my Cricut Expression 2 and the Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 cartridge (I am really loving this cartridge) along with the awesome Build a Banner stamp and die set from My Creative Time.  The basket is cut at 7 inches with the Box Section feature on the cartridge.

After I cut out the basket pieces, I misted a little bit of yellow glimmer mist to make the basket sparkly.  You can't see that very well in the photos, but there is a hint of sparkle all over it.   I cut out the "Easter" with my Criuct Mini and the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive: Easter Magic Cartridge and altered it a little in Cricut Craft room to make it a little taller.  I then used the Cricut Craft Room Exclusive: Banners cartridge to cut out the banner behind Easter.  I stamped the letters with some of the same colored ink and the Build A Banner from My Creative Time and inked them up a little and added pen stitching to both the letters and the banner.

I created the banner with the Build A Banner from My Creative Time and tied it all up with some yummy Orchid bakers twine from The Twinery to two skewers (what a great use of an item from the kitchen).  The stamps on the banner don't show up very well, but I used the same color of ink as the cardstock to give it a subtle look......

I added some Easter grass to the basket along with some plastic eggs.  Easter is less than 3 weeks away.  I think that I am going to use this as a center piece for my table through Easter.  What do you think??

I hope you can hop on over to the My Creative Time blog to see what the other designers have created for 3-D Wednesday.  

I am entering this in the Ribbon Carousel Challenge RCC45:
