I was in desperate need of some fresh, cute Easter decorations!! Then I found this unfinished wood egg at a non-profit scrap store. They have all kinds of recyclables that can be used for crafting.
It has a sheer yellow ribbon tucked underneath for hanging. I'm about to spraypaint it, so I tucked the ribbon underneath.
Here it is spraypainted a lovely Iris Blue. Very spring-y color! Next I sanded it down to get rid of a few rough edges and bumps from the spray paint.
It looks so much darker in bad lighting.....*sigh*. Someday my craft room will have wonderful lighting!!
Next I added some green shimmer card stock to the bottom part of the egg. Then I hand stamped and hand colored this beautiful image...
Isn't that gorgeous?? It's a $1.99 stamp from Hobby Lobby. SO cute!!
Next I went through my flower stash...
And then I went through my button stash....
And ended up with this....
Isn't it beautiful? A small bit of Spring to liven up my days. I love it!! My two sons argued with me about the buttons. They thought it just needed the flowers, but I knew...the buttons would add more color and pizazz! And I was right! Take that, boys!
Happy Spring ya'll!
