New Beginnings

Hello, welcome back to our little crafting corner and a Happy Easter to you all.

Easter always signifies new beginnings to me, and so it seems rather apt that us Creative girls are relaunching the blog this weekend.

We are all feeling refreshed and full of inspiring ideas and we have three fabulous new members of the team contributing regularly, all we need now is a little bit of spring sunshine !

Without further waffling from me I have created a scrapbook page as my DT piece.

 

And a close up of the Easter Bunny, created from various punches

 

 

I drew inspiration from the supercute photo, the bunny ears totally inspired my colour choice and the decision to use so many spots.

Papers are by Best Creations and Woodware, I used Stampin' Up punches for the bunny and Cheery Lynn dies for the doilies, the flowers are from Woodware and Wild Orchid Crafts.

I must thank my dear friend Margaret for the photo as it hers and it is her adorable grandchildren, thankyou.

 

Now onto my second little Easter project.

 

 

I used one of the new Julie Nutting Stamps by Prima to create an Easter inspired tag as an alternative to an Easter card.

The bunny was salvaged from a scrap of Bo Bunny patterned paper, the basket was created using a Marianne design die. The tag background was created using the new Tim Holtz distress paints, a Dylusions stencil and Tim Holtz distress inks.

To make the girl, I stamped her out several times, once onto book paper and then onto various scraps of patterned paper, cut all the parts out, then I inked all the edges, layered all the various parts together and glued onto the tag, I added a little colour to her skin with a copic marker, I added stickles to her crown and glossy accents to her shoes to make them shiny.

However you celebrate Easter, I wish you all a happy one, I will be celebrating with friends today and family on sunday and no doubt there will be lots of yummy treats ( many of them of the chocolate variety )

Easter blessings to you all
