The tutorial for this Basket Weave technique can be found HERE on SplitCoastStampers. 

Technique:

First, I cut and weaved my Tranquil Tide A-2 card. It looks difficult, but is rather quite easy. Do give it a try. 

Next, I attached the Eastern Palace DSP to the front of the card.

Heat Embossing:

I then stamped the edge of the basket weave with my Metallic Gold Ink. I added the gold embossing powder and heat set it. 

Die Cutting:

Using my Layering Circles Framelits, I cut the circle and scallop on the Fresh Fig squares. I also die cut the large medallion on the Very Vanilla square using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits.

Stamping:

I then moved onto stamping: I stamped the 

   Flower using Fresh Fig ink,

   Large Medallion using Tranquil Tide Ink,

   Sentiment using Fresh Fig Ink.

Die Cutting After Stamping:

I then took the stamped flower and die cut it with the coordinating die. Notice that the inner petals add dimension - Do not glue them down.

Let's Put the Card Together:

I adhered the large medallion to the large Fresh Fig circle using dimensionals.

The flower was adhered with liquid glue to the scalloped circle, keeping the petals free to add dimension.

I then adhered the circles to the card front using liquid glue. Use your favorite adhesive.

I added a clear faceted gem to the center of the flower and some rhinestones to both for some glimmer and sparkle.

The 3 x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla panel is for the inside of the card.
