CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES, ROUND 14

The latest round of challenges on Crafters Digital Art Center has some fabulous images to use.  The theme is "Bears and Baskets", and this card features the empty basket image provided by Shelly's Images.


I coloured the image using a combination of the following alcohol markers
- Copics -
- Nellie Snellen -
- Spectrum Noir -
with some highlights using a Hybrid White Gel pen
I added some pink paper roses and rosebuds, and a raffia bow
The prick and stitch border has been created using a template from Marianne Designs

I would also like to add this KISS/CAS card to the following challenges :
