Spring Chicken

Happy Easter everyone!

Do you have a lovely quite weekend planned with family? Hopefully with lots of Easter eggs and Hot Cross Buns to keep you company?  I do! I LOVE Easter. It is my favourite holiday. Being in Australia, it is autumn here at Easter time and it is my favourite season, so it is just perfect - good weather, good food and a long weekend.

Wow, can you believe I only made my first Easter card last night? OMG.. I am waaay behind. I have a couple more to go, but with that in mind, I thought I would try and create something simple..

I coloured this cute little Chicken Tilda from the Hoppy Easter collection  with Copics on Make It Colour cardstock, then fussy cut around her. The card is white bazzil that I've run through my Grand Calibur using my new Nesties that arrived a couple of weeks ago. Some sponging with Antique Linen DI to follow and then my sentiment and tulips were stamped directly onto the cardstock.  The tulips are coloured with Prisma pencils - this is when disaster struck... yup, I spilled my entire bottle of odourless spirits on my desk - eeeeekkkk!!! Yup, its all gone. So I'm heading off to the art store tomorrow to find some more. Sigh. 

I was a little worried, but the odourless spirits DID end up drying and you can't tell that it was spilled all  over my card :S 

Isn't the sentiment cute? I love Magnolia's sentiments. 

So there is my simple Easter card.

Thanks for visiting me. I have been a bit quiet these last few weeks, I hope things pick up a bit soon. 

I do miss my bloggy friends :o)

Beautiful Tilda

G'day friends, how was your Monday?  I suppose it is just beginning for some of you! Here on the Eastern side of Australia, the day is coming to an end, my little boys are in bed and about to catch some zzzzz's and Hubby and I are settling in for a quiet evening. 

A close friend of mine has a special birthday tomorrow......she is turning the big 4-0 oops, I mean, 21 again! 

I thought I would make an explosion box with a surprise cupcake inside. Adorable Beautiful Tilda is sitting atop some gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.... 

The tag is cut with a fantastic Magnolia Doo Hickey die. 

My friend has lovely dark brown hair with burgundy tones throughout, so I tried to colour Tilda with similar hair colour.  I think the Copic colours I used were E 49, 57, R 59, E 42 and lots of gold Spica pen. 

Have a  great week,

Its beginning to look a lot like Easter...

Good morning! 

Only one week to Easter, my favourite holiday of the year. 

It is so much easier than Christmas and so much more fun. 

The challenge at MDUC this week is "Easter Inspired"

I found these cute little metal buckets at my local supermarket to decorate. I wanted to decorate them for my little boys, but I don't have any Easter Edwins! It is really strange but this is the only Easter project I have made this year. Oh well.. there is still a week to go :) 

The papers are Echo Park, flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts. 

The buckets were full of mini easter eggs... but I kind of ate some so you can't see them above the trim hehehe. See... Easter is my favourite holiday of the year ;)

I hope you have a chance to join us at MDUC this week.
