The theme for the first April challenge is:
Easter card or anything as long as it is Easter.
I have chosen to decorate an Easter Egg.
I used a cardboard shaped egg and a 2ply serviette.
I first covered the egg blank with the bottom sheet of the 2ply serviette torn into pieces.
I used Mod Podge for the gluing .
I then painted green with a test pot of acrylic paint .
Finally covered with the top sheet of the torn up serviette.
I cut the rabbit out separately and adhered him last.
Another coating of mod podge to seal and give a nice overall sheen to the egg.
Top and base are both the same rabbit design.
I attached the edging strip of the serviette to the edge of the bottom egg half.
I then raided my stash and went to town decorating.
I used
Lace, flowers, ribbon, beads, gems & pearls.
Side view of finished egg.
It wouldn't be Easter without the chocolate eggs inside!!
