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.
Dimensionals under “Happy Easter” oval and single bunny
Dimensionals under chicks and flowers
Dimensionals under bunnies, basket and eggs
Dimensionals under carrots
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.
