Hi! I feel the spring in the air. It’s still freezing cold, but the sun is up and the birds are singing so I’m happy about that right now. Easter is coming up and we are going to celebrate with family. I’ve done quite a few treat boxes which will be placed on everyone’s plates filled with some yumminess.
Since I want to enhance every tad bit of spring-y feeling I can find I’ve worked with beautiful pastels, starting with the soft colored gorgeous papers in the Vintage Floret Paper Collection. Then I used the many AMAZING butterflies from different collections and colored them in the shades of the paper, cut out and glue down. Done.
HCDP1 227 Vintage Floret Paper Collection, HCPC 3524 Butterfly and Bunny PreCut Set, HCPC 3519 Butterfly Medley PreCut Set Other: Versa fine – Onyx Black, Distress inks: Broken China, Mustard Seed, Cotton Candy and Victorian Velvet, Peeled Paint. Pearls, lace and satin ribbon.
Here is the template I used, but there are loads of similar boxes on the net too. If you want to use it, click the photo to get the actual size before printing it.
My second project this week is a card using one of the beautiful scenery stamps from the Sweet Serenity Collection. I adore the flower corners of this paper from the Posy Patch Paper Collection and I thought I’d try to make it shine on the card.
HCDP1 231 Posy Patch Paper Collection, HCPC 3525 Tranquil Evening PreCut Set, HCPC 3511 Melodious Songbird PreCut Set, 209503 Floral Ovals. Other: Ink: Versa Fine – Onyx Black, Distress inks – Vintage photo, Walnut Stain, Broken China, Chipped Saphire, Rusty Hinge, Forest Moss, Peeled Paint, Weathered wood. Brown and blue cardstock, thread and pearls.
