Plaid Stenciling and A Colorful Egg

This is another card we made at my creative stenciling class.  This one was my favorite.  I just loved how fun and easy it was to create the plaid background.  I used a retired striped stencil from Stampin' Up! and 2 different colors for the plaid.  I chose Pear Pizzazz and Bermuda Bay.  These work well together for a fun Spring look.

The cute little bunnies are attached with dimensionals.

I used our new watercolor pencils to color my bunnies and then 'smoothed' out the coloring using my Aqua Painter ... and .... must have coordinating envelope:)

The 3 eggs are cut from our Glimmer Papers.

So cute!

Now for the egg.  This is a Simon Says Stamp die that I used to create a stenciled design for the egg.  The die cuts the oval (egg) shape and the flower, leaf, and dot designs all at one time.  I sponged my bright colors onto a piece of CS and attached it inside the front of the card.  I added lots of bright, Springy colors ... simple but very pretty.  I don't often veer from using only SU products, but seek other sources when SU does not offer what I want to use for a particular project.

I'm not telling what's inside ... until later:)

Here's a closer look at our fun project for my April 10 Scraps and Prayers class.  I will probably color the boxes for you ahead of time, so we won't have to worry about them not being dry before we 'decorate' them.  I'll spritz a little variety of colors, so you can choose one you really like.
It's still a secret as to what's inside.  I'll reveal that sometime after our class.

I spritzed my egg carton to be a gorgeous blue-green.  The Mint Macaron striped ribbon worked perfectly on it. 

Look closely and you'll see that my bunny has cute little pink cheeks and a sparkly bow tie.  Using clear Wink of Stella makes adding some sparkle easy peasy.

I didn't attach or tie any ribbons or papers around my egg carton, because I wanted it to be easy to open and close it without ruining the decorations.

I love the little 'grass' piece, made with coordinating thinlits.  The eggs and the bunny are die cuts, also.  Wouldn't this make a fun gift for someone special ... just a little something for a special someone --- your spouse, your best friend, someone who needs a little perk,  a neighbor, your mail person, your UPS person ... ... endless possibilities.
