Default So now what? Opinions needed

Okay, I want to do something with this little basket card for an Easter workshop. I stamped in Versamark on glossy, then sponged on dye ink.

What does it need? Ribbon, eyelets, what? Please be honest about this. I think it could be cute, but I am clueless about what to do with it.
I can scrap the idea if it isn't any good. :?

Hm...Let's see...Ribbon, wrapped around the "handle" would be cute in the right colour...maybe eyelets down the sides...it's very cute though!

I might have to borrow this idea for our kids easter baskets!

First off, I think it's adorable! Additions -- what about a tag with something like "Happy Easter" attached with ribbon to the handle?

How about green fun fur yarn coming up out of the basket to look like grass? Or, to stay SU!, crimp some thin strips of green cardstock for the "grass"

I think ribbon around the handle would be pretty. Adding a tag that says Happy Easter would be a thought too.

You could use your 1/8 hole punch, punch twice side by side at the top of the basket (not the handle part) and tie a shoe string bow on the primary side. Then ad a Tag ( already mentioned) to hang below that says something to do with Easter??? OR... Punch a 1 3/8 circle in the middle and use a window sheet with grass and yummy Chocolate eggs (so you can see in the basket)

I like the ribbon and tag idea.
On second thought, I should find another stamp set besides the Flower Factory for this, since we don't sell it anymore. I don't know what I was thinking! :oops:
I just don't have any 'Easter' stamps yet. I do have Fresh Flowers, or the flowers stamp with Cool Cat might work too.

Didn't someone make a bunny face with the blossom from Fresh Flowers? Or was it the dragonfly? Maybe I could work that in on this basket......

Do you have water color garden? (Or since you have Fresh flowrs use that daisy stamp from there) Versa mark the big flower then use a lilac and yoyo sponged on? thats "springy" Just an idea

I second this idea! It's nice to demo the 2 hole punch!

What about using the daisy punch to put 3D flowers around the rim of the basket? (Or just stamping some flowers and cutting them out.) Then use eyelets for the centers of the flowers?
