Mornin' hens! I thought I'd pop in today and show you what I whipped up for Easter! I recently saw this idea on the Lawn Fawn blog HERE and couldn't resist putting my own spin on this idea and mass producing some Easter cards for my family. I just LOVE how they turned out! So instead of using bags, I used these colorful notecards from LawnFawn. I added the chevron die cut behind the tag to resemble a decorated Easter egg and embossed the sentiment with some white embossing powder.
I colored the bunny images from Mama Elephant with my new Inktense watercolor pencils. I have to admit, these pencils and my distress markers have renewed my interest in watercoloring!! I think I'm addicted! I just love the "painted look" this technique gives. The grass border was done using my Martha Stewart border punch. I placed a taller grass under the vellum and shorter grass on top for some depth. Oh, and I also used my new Marvy snow marker for the bunny's tails. Seriously, I could watch that stuff puff up over and over. It never gets old to me. Finally, I tied some satin ribbon to each tag and rounded the bottom corners of each card.
Now, continuing with the Easter egg roll I was on, (tee-hee!) I also wanted to make a few treat bags for my co-workers. I enjoy making little things for them. These were pretty simple to do and I bet you'll never guess where I got the pattern? Yup, the Silhouette on line store. Actually, I think I downloaded this last year and never got around to making them. Anyhoo, I cut four bunnies from both Kraft and white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. Don't ya just love those teeth?? {{{snort!}}} I put little bags of Hershey's chocolate eggs inside. Shhhhh, I only had a few! For the closure, I threaded the baker's twine up through the flap from the panel underneath. Then I tied the twine in a bow and cut the bow loops so they resemble whiskers. Aren't they the CUTEST?
Ok, that's it for me today. I hope you all have a blessed Easter Sunday and I'll see ya back in the hen house real soon. {{{hen hugs}}
