If you came to my blog by the way of the very talented Miesje's blog, you are right on track. If not, I hope you will start at the beginning of the hop HERE so you can enjoy some fabulous creations by my talented CSS friends.
For this month we were given a color challenge to use for our creations. These are the colors -
Aren't they great?!I usually make some type of treat holder for Abbi to pass out to her classmate before their Easter break. Since that is approaching fast I decided to use these colors and make an Easter basket.
The basket is made using Sizzix Big Scalloped Envelope. I cut out 4 of the envelopes and attached them together to form the box. The handle is an EK Border Punch. I threaded ribbon through the lattice to make it a little sturdier. The blue strip around the box was embossed with Cuttlebug's Dots EF.
The little chicks and eggs are from the Basket Blessing stamp set as is the sentiment. I colored the chicks and eggs with copics. I ended up using quite a few colors on that little image and listed the colors below in the supply list.
Basket Supplies:
Stamps: Gina K Designs - Basket Blessings
Paper: Gina K Pure Luxury - Lemon Drop, Green Apple, Turquoise Sea
Ink: Memento, Copics - Y000,00,11,13,35, 38/YG61,63,91,93/B000,00/BG53,57/G00/E31/W00,0,1
Other: Cuttlebug EF, Ribbon, Sizzex Big Scallop Envelope, EK Border Punch, Glitter Pen, Stickles, Crystal Lacquer, Spellinders - Circles, Big Scalloped Circles, Lacey Pennants.
As you are hoping along, make sure to leave a comment on all of the designer's blogs because on Tuesday morning (March 20th), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all of the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K Designs Stamps!
Your next stop on the hop it to Tera's fabulous blog.
Enjoy the rest of the hop!
