My love for baskets...

I am back with two cards... I love to make my own baskets, have made them earlier, like this one. So thought about making two cards as a tribute to my love for baskets ;) LOL

So my first card, is inspired by theme at Paper Players challenge #161 - FALL, the colors at Inkspirational #36 and the sketch at Seize the Sketch #3. I love combining challenges :) So here's my card.
To make this I hand drew the basket and the fall leaves, inked them with yellow and red colors and stuck them as per the sketch. The sentiment (from Paper sweeties- you make me smile) was stamped on vellum. Final touches with butterflies (from Martha Stewart) were made by stamping and fuzzy cutting them :)

The challenges are -

My second card is inspired by the cue card at CASology Week 60 - APPLE, the sketch at Annabelle stamps Blog AC 170 and use of Button at A Blog Named Hero ABNH #31. Here's my card...
To make this, I hand drew the basket and the apples, Colored (Sharpie marker)and inked the apples and basket respectively. Finally fuzzy cut each of these and stuck them. The basket was embellished with button and twine and sentiment was added on vellum :)

The challenges are -
 


Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

    Amazing cards, Deepti! I love both of your baskets...gosh, I wish I could draw like you :-)
    I love the falling leaves...so rich in color and perfect with the basket, and the apples on your 2nd card look good enough to eat! Thanks so much for your inspiration...good luck in the challenges, too!
