With Easter just over 2 weeks away it was time to make a framed art piece.
My customers love making these and this one was a blast. I wasn’t feeling well as I was trying to design this and BJ Peters came to the rescue. She used the Basket Bunch Bundle to make a fabulous framed art piece — I took her layout, changed colors and some bigger layers and turned my Easter framed art piece into a 12″ x 12″. The ladies LOVED it and I had so much fun I forgot I was sick. I put my piece into a 12″ x 12″ White Shadow Box frame — too much glare from the glass to take a good picture of it in the frame.

I started with a piece of the Succulent Garden designer paper — today is the last day to choose this paper as a FREE Sale-a-Bration item. After tomorrow the paper will cost $11.00.
I added squares of Early Espresso and Calypso Coral cardstock — one on a diagonal and another squared.
Then I prepared all the panels.

I stamped all the images on Whisper White cardstock and colored them with markers:
So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Blushing Bride, Tangerine Tango, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay
Once they were all colored I cut them out with the coordinating framelits.

Then I stamped the “chocolate” bunnies on Tip Top Taupe with Early Espresso ink.
I also stamped a tiny basket with Memento ink — the bunnies are cut out with a framelit, the basket is fussy cut using your paper snips.
I stamped the adorable bunny peep with Memento on Calypso Coral and cut out with the framelit.
Stamp three chicks — two one direction and one the other directions — yes there are two different chick stamps and the framelits too match — cut those out

Cut out two grass sections from Pear Pizzazz

Cut out the basket pieces as shown from Early Espresso. I attached the handle with Glue Dots and the two basket pieces with dimensionals.

On two 2″ x 2″ Whisper White squares stamp grass and flower stems & leaves with Pear Pizzazz ink — I colored in the leaves in the Pear Pizzazz marker.
I cut a 2″ x 2″ square of Succulent Garden designer paper — Tip Top Taupe gingham and stamp the chick feet at the bottom (yes, there are two feet stamps — one for each direction).
I also stamped “May all your chocolate be solid” with Memento ink — really, should chocolate be anything but solid????
Ok, now it’s time to assemble your artwork.

As I assembled the big squares — I used dimensionals under the first Early Espresso/Calypso Coral square — the rest is attached with Fast Fuse.
This was so much fun to make — you still have 2 weeks to get yours done.
