I don't know about you, but I've had just about enough of winter! The weather here has been brutally cold the past week with lows that have broken 100+ year-old records. Add to that a sinus infection that just doesn't want to let go and I need a good dose of Spring!
Today I have a project I designed for my Blendabilities Club this month. They are receiving the Soft Sky set, so I thought it would be perfect to colour some soft blue eggs...

I decided to go with a Shabby chic look for this one. The eggs, from the (retired) Backyard Basics stamp set, are stamped in
Crumb Cake ink and coloured using the
Soft Sky Blendabilities. I die-cut them using the coordinating Backyard Basics Framelits (also retired) and arranged them on a nest of Hemp twine I have been
hoarding saving for years. I adhered the nest to a doily from the
Artisan Embellishments Kit and layered that on a
Sahara Sand card base, stamped using the
Hardwood background stamp in
Whisper White Craft ink.
The sentiment banner is die-cut using the
Label Card Thinlits. This little banner is actually supposed to pop up, but I found that when I ran it through my
Big Shot with
Whisper White card stock I only got the cut banner without the score lines, which made it perfect for this project. I stamped the sentiments from the
Crazy About You set in
Blushing Bride ink, bending the photopolymer stamps slightly so that they would follow the shape of the banner. I adhered the banner over the nest using dimensionals. I added a little rosette and a button from the
Artisan Embellishments Kit, as well as a little bow tied from
Venetian Crochet Trim.
On the inside I stamped a sentiment from the
Indescribable Gift stamp set in
Sahara Sand ink and added a little
vellum butterfly, punched with the
Bitty Butterfly punch and sponged lightly with
Blushing Bride ink, and embellished with three little
pearls.
Here's hoping we'll really be able to say "Hello Spring" sooner than later!
Now for this week's Weekly Deals. Some great prices on punches! Remember, these sale prices are only good until Monday at midnight :)
