I stamped the sides of the basket with the beautiful broderie anglaise stamp (don't you love that name?!) from the Faux Fun set by Waltzingmouse Stamps
I made my handle using a Martha Stewart lacey punch and I put a strip of yellow CS behind it so it shows through the holes in the lace.
I'll be making 10 of these to sell at my church Easter Sale so I gotta go get to work on them!
