Not a Basket

Today I'm sharing my entry for Funkie & Frilly.
To follow the rules, I opted out of using an Easter basket.
Instead, it could be a jar, bag, or anything else.
I chose a small rustic box.
It's one of a few I made from reclaimed wood.
 
 
It looks so cozy wrapped in white burlap.
The jersey flowers are from Prima.
 
I used a Martha Stewart leaf punch.
 
I made my tag with Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints 2
 
 
The bunny is pop dotted up and has a genuine ribbon.
Using some distressing inks, I played around with
color blending (bundled sage & milled lavender).
 
 
I ran vintage hymn music through my paper shredder
and then through my crinkler!
It makes for some mighty cute basket "grass".
 
Those glitter eggs were from the dollar store! 
I pulled the pink out of the 6 pack for this little box.
 
 
I hope you have a meaningful & safe holiday.
