My May basket is for Fussy and Fancy Challenge. The instructions I got quite some time ago but didn't write down where. I enlarged it and used decorative scissors for the center piece. The image is a sweet Penny Black that I cut out and pieced her hat. It is called A gift of Flowers. I used a fiskars punch for the My Minds Eye paper pink edge. I ran the handle through the dotted swiss folder and put the pink edge on each side. I love love flowers and made the flowers using a punch and some just cutting and layering then added tendrils and leaves and a big bow. I cut pink and white tissue to fill it. May baskets usually have flowers in them but I put them on the outside cuz I plan of filling it with some bath salts and bubble bath Im making for a friend.
