Make a basket with Reflection dies - Kianel

Hello dear Cheery Lynn Designs friends,
Kianel here with you today to show you a basket i made using reflection dies as a base.
I am still going through my dies and trying to use the never or less used ones.
I wanted to show you the details so there are many pictures, maybe you'd better grab a cuppa before starting? lol!
The basket is 16cm large, 12.5cm high and 21cm high from base to the top of the handle.
 To build my base, i used a 29cm white paper and then placed the Mini pearl Rectangle Mega doily at each end of the paper, leaving a 3cm wide in the middle without die cutting (the die size i used is the 2nd one starting from the largest).
 View from aside, the basket is 3cm large but can be made larger.
 This is the back of the basket, decorated using the Daisy lace frame die
 To decorate the back, i used a french sentiment stamp on friendship from Florilège Design. I then created a label fitting my stamped image with the Mini pearl Rectangle mega doily, smallest size.
I also added two leaves from the flourish leaf strip.
 The side is decorated with the Flower chain border with small pearls. A copper brad is holding the handle and a small piece of tulle is added.
 To decorate the handle, i created a flower using the Build a flower #1 set (watch the great video that Mike did for the store). I added a small metal flower and pearl in the center and sewed the flower to a piece of tulle on which i glued pieces of the Tropical flourish die. I also placed a Flower chain border all along the handle with pearls.
 Here is the front of the basket. I used the Daisy Lace frame on this face too.
 I then created another label but using the Little scalloped oval stackers combined with the Small silver oval classic stackers.
I also cut a Small lace faerie queen die out that i decorated with small pearls and then placed a Tropical flourish on the side.
 The roses are made using the medium rose die and the miniature rose die.
Small bits of the Flourish Leaf strip are placed around.
 The rosebud is made out of one piece of the miniature rose flower and the leaf  that you also find in the set.

The stamp is from Florilèges Design, the paper is from MME, the inks are distress and colorbox, all the diesare from Cheery Lynn designs.

See you next week, have a nice time, love from France, Kianel.
