Basket of Thanks

Hi and welcome!  Today's post brings you the latest sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and this week our hostess is my Aussie mate, Narelle  Farrugia.

A gorgeous CAS sketch!  I decided to dig through my NBUS box and used one of the stamp sets released in a Hero Arts kit from a few months ago, to come up with a basket of vegetables.

I colored up the various images with Copics and then die-cut them with the matching dies.  I cut slits down either side of the basket handle and across the top so I could arrange the veges "in" the basket.  I then glued all the images in place before setting it aside to work on the rest of the card.  I die-cut a stitched circle of vellum and then adhered the sentiment (such a cool font!), which was white-embossed onto a black strip of cardstock.  The basket was added with foam tape and then I squirted some liquid glue onto the back side of the vellum where it would be hidden by the image and sentiment.  The card base is Soft Stone and I added some Jewel Drops as per the sketch.

Thanks so much for visiting!  The rest of the design team have some gorgeous cards so be sure to check them out.

I'm linking this card up to Addicted to Stamps who have a CAS challenge and Inkspirational who have a Rural word prompt.  Now, vegetables aren't only rural, but agriculture is a key industry where I live, so I'm going with it :)
