"Baskets & Blooms" Easter Basket


This Easter basket was made with the Stampin' Up!, bigz xl die, baskets & blooms.  Normally this basket is round but I wanted to try something a little different.  I used the two pieces that normally form the round basket, then cut a little off the bottom of each one because they wouldn't sit flat with the arch on them.  I "slowly" created my own piece for the sides and bottom to make it a flat basket.  It's about an inch in depth, but you can make it as deep as you'd like. There was plenty of trial and error, but it turned out the way I wanted it to.
