Easter basket with Spring Parade

Hello everyone,  DT Henriëtte here today sharing an Easter basket featuring the 

Spring Parade collection.

The idea for the Easter basket I got from Tara's craft studio.
I made the basket from white sheets of chipboard and decorated it with papers,
 lace, flowers and chipboard pieces.

I colored the chipboard eggs and bunny with inks.

On the top corners of the basket I glued spring colored flowers.

It was a fun project to make and I love the spring colors and flowers.

As my own daughter is to old to go egg hunting I'll be giving this basket to the neighbors children with some chocolate eggs in it.

I hope you like my Easter project. 

There's still some time to make one for Easter.

A Little Bit of Spring

Hi, it's Valerie today, and I've got spring on my mind.  With Easter approaching, I pulled out the Blue Fern Garden paper collection, along with a few chipboard pieces, and created an Easter layout and card.

First up is a layout using the "Picnic"  and "Timeless" paper and a photo of my niece that was taken last Easter. 

I chose the Cosmos Basket as a backdrop for the photos, tucked in a Bohemian Flower with the cluster, and painted some Checker Bits green, as a page accent.  

Here are a couple of close ups of the chipboard pieces:

 

Next, I created a little Happy Easter card using the Timeless and Calling Cards papers from the Blue Fern Garden collection.  I painted the bunny in the Bunny Basket chipboard set, and used the smallest circle from the Beaded Strings set.  

Lastly, I've had this sweet photo of my nephew that I took when he an infant, that I wanted to use with the Parlour paper.  I first worked with the background to create a grunge look (the Blue Fern Garden paper is perfect for this, since it's good and heavy).  I primed the Lattice Gate with gesso, applied a coat of Inka Gold (Old Silver), and unevenly sponged on some gold Prima Metallic Chalk Edger, to give it a distressed look.  I also primed the Broken Rings, and inked them with black ink.

Here is a close-up of the chipboard pieces:

That's all from me this month.  I love trying to achieve different looks with this chipboard!  

Be sure to stop by tomorrow when Jackie will share a few of her projects with you!
