Easter Basket Card - Lawn Fawn BuildABasketEaster EggstraSpecial

Made this card using Lawn Fawn Build-A-Basket Easter die & stamped sentiment from Eggstra Special. Like the Build-A-Basket Easter die because of the lattice cut look of basket and for the way the bunny can be made easily (the front layer cuts out places for ears, face features, etc. and the back layer is a solid piece so you do not have to cut & glue on the tiny pieces to use instead the back layer shows thru where the cuts are on the front layer.

Used the grass die from Build-A-Basket Easter for pattern paper grass in basket and for pattern paper layer that has flowers on it.

Used cardboard for backs of pieces for sturdiness.

#2 Easter Basket & Alcohol Ink Easter Eggs

Decorated this Easter Basket of Easter Eggs inspired by Tim Holtz. You can click here to see how a white plastic Easter egg can be transformed by watching TH blog video.

Had made one of the baskets earlier and gave it as an Easter gift so I made a 2nd one to keep for myself. Cut the flowers with wire cutters. Weaved the flowers/greenery into the basket. Put Reindeer Moss inside basket. 

Colored the 2 blue eggs using blue inks & no mixative. Used same felt pad & alcohol inks. Liked that each are different & one is darker than the other.

Put the Alcohol Ink Easter Eggs in the basket. 

Stamped chicks from a popular Hobby Lobby wood stamp set that sold out at one HL here & there was only one more left after I bought last wk. Colored chicks with pencil color. Used Wink of Stella clear on the chicks eggs. Stamped sentiment.

Added ribbon.

Daisy & I wish you a Happy Easter. Photographed in my backyard where my BlueBonnets (isn't that appropriate since I colored blue Easter Eggs) are blooming. Thank goodness I photographed yesterday since it rained today. Did manage to walk Daisy after the rain stopped this morn. She has been walked every day since I adopted/rescued her from shelter in Aug of last yr.
