A Little Bit of Romance (basket)

 
 A fun challenge was issued at http://www.atjoansgardens.com/.  Guest designer  Sue Walsh (http://a-consuming-passion.blogspot.com challenged us to use her tutorial to create our own similar project.  Using the provided heart shaped basket template, I started by using shiny gold cardstock as my basket base.  Then it was off searching my "stash of stuff" to find decorative elements.  I used:  silk ribbon (to create the lavender rose), glass beads, white and purpose pearls, paper flowers,  and laces.  Lots of glue and sticky fingers later, my basket it done.  A sweet little gift bag, I think.
