Hello, It's Kay M here today with my spring project, a
decorated egg which are a wonderful celebration of the season. I have decorated a papermache two part egg
shaped box, just perfect to house a chocolate egg!
A number of leaf sprigs were die cut and applied all over
the outer surface using the
Slap-it-On Matt then
GeeSsoGood white was painted both
on the outside, and inside of the egg, then left to dry.
I painted the inside with
Lime Marmalade
for a bright pop of colour.
The outside was painted first with
Peppermint Tea and
dried.
Then I applied
Olive Waistcoat over
the leaf shapes with a paint brush and removed excess with kitchen towel so the
paint was removed from the raised areas.
LimeMarmalade was then dry brushed over, this gave a lovely textured appearance to the egg.
A sentiment from
Victorian Garden was stamped in
black ink and heat embossed with clear powder onto white card, cut out and
edged in black ink and adhered to the egg.
The flower sprig from the
Clock Work Stamp Set was
repeatedly stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear powder onto white
card.
They were then painted with
Mulberry Bush and
Lemon Meringue paints and after the flowers had been fussy cut, they were glued onto the
leaf shapes.
The Bee from
Victorian Garden was repeatedly
stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear powder onto heat resistant
acetate.
Lemon Meringue paint was painted
over the bodies and left to dry.
The Bee's were then fussy cut and attached to the egg.
I finished by adding a chocolate egg!
I do hope you have enjoyed my project and are inspired for
you Easter makes.
Kay M.
