A very simple technique, to mask off a portion of your card stock so you can add color with a foam applicator (or sponge). I simply ripped some copy paper and taped it down to achieve this, on both ends. Stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored the 'basket' and then stamped the sentiment. Geez you could really whip up a stack of these in an afternoon. The stamp set is Lots Of Thoughts, by Flourishes. The sponged ink is from Stampin' Up, Not Quite Navy.
Short and sweet......enjoy your day!
Perfect and such a lovely card:)
