This is part of the gift that my hostesses will be receiveing this month. I found the idea for the scallop sunflowers on Patty Bennett's blog. They are super easy to make and I love the look of them. I posted a basket last week that gives the directions on how to make the it.
The base of my basket is apricot appeal cardstock. I also used apricot appeal cardstock to make the sunflowers. I punched a scallop circle out of apricot appeal and then used scissors to cut each petal apart. I added a 1" circle of dotted chocolated chip Bella Rose dp to the center of each flower. The old olive leaves are from the little leaves die. The front panel on the basket is comprised of a whisper white and chocolate chip mat with a length of whisper white organza ribbon tied around it. The three sunflowers are popped off the front with dimensionals. I added a chocolate chip scallop circle to the handle on each side to dress it up a bit.
