I used the Basket Weave embossing folder from Stampin Up to represent the picnic basket and added an extra stripe of yellow Distress Ink in Fossilised Amber and another in Cracked Pistachio to match the picnic blanket. I added the ink direct to the paper and it coloured in the lovely little squares of the embossing.
I pulled out some Tim Holtz wildflower thinlets which I haven't used in such a long time. In my same box of bits I found some green background I had made with a gel press and used it for my flowers. The sentiment is from Tracy Evans' set The Great Outdoors. I added a touch of twine around it and some washi tape in the same colour palette to the bottom.
I'm also adding this into the following challenge:
Allsorts - Summer
Color My Heart - choose 3 colours
