Easter projects - Part 1

I've been working on a few little Easter projects this weekend.

This one is a card for my mother-in-law:

Photobucket

I'm submitting the card for these challenges:

# 2 Cute ~ Challenge 2 ~ Easter
The bunny is also from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps - it's digital image available as a free download for a short time.
# Simon Says (on Paper Craft Planet) ~ Challenge 4 ~ sketch
# Town Scrapper ~ Easter
# Pile it On ~ Challenge 12 ~ Animal-riffic


This one is a decorated egg carton, for my daughter. Click to enlarge on either image.





At our place on Easter Sunday, the Easter Bunny usually hides a bunch of coloured plastic eggs around the yard, and inside the eggs are small treats like jellybeans, small chocolates and children's trinkets. The carton is for placing the eggs in once they have been found.

It was easy to make - I painted the carton first (just the outside), then Mod-Podge'd a paper napkin to add the pattern and texture. I made some layered flowers from the leftover napkin and scrunched them up. I decorated the carton with the flowers, the digi image, rainbow ribbon and some Pink Paislee stickers. Voila!!

I'm entering this one in these challenges:

# Some Odd Girl ~ Stash Challenge ~ Rainbows
# Town Scrapper ~ Easter
# 2 Cute ~ Challenge 2 ~ Easter
# Pile it On ~ Challenge 12 ~ Animal-riffic
