Okay so for today I'm sharing a fun little Easter project that I made using a variety of PWP stamp sets:

     

This cute little project started out as an empty ribbon spool and shoe box lid.  Here's a look at the lid before I cut it up:

I actually intended to make this into a shadow box for my Feb hop project but I just couldn't make it work.  So I set it aside and it just happened to be perfect for this project. ;D  I added some additional layers of green paint, 3-D Enamels flourishes and randomly stamped the Writings Backgrounds Cling Stamp.  Next I cut it down to size creating a nice backdrop for my project.

For the base, I padded the empty spool with foam then covered it with a scrap piece of Debbie Mumm fabric.  On the top, I adhered a piece of white cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug to emboss with the Swiss Dots folder and then inked with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters.

Moving onto the banner, I cut a wooden dowel into two pieces for my "poles" and gave them a light wash of TH Vintage Photo.  I stamped the pennants onto various patterned papers with the Happy Day stamp set.  Next I fussy cut, layered the pennant pieces and highlighted with a white gel pen.  To string my banner, I punched holes and added grommets for a nice finished looked.  I hung the banner on a thin sheer ribbon.

I stamped two sets of the flowers onto pink patterned paper, fussy cut and highlighted with white.  (Tip: highlighting helps create depth on the image.)  After attaching to my "poles", I wrapped pipe cleaners around the poles to soften them a bit and add visual interest.  

 I choose to use a bird from the Bird Melange set and stamped him on yellow patterned paper.  He's topped off with a small crown from the Crowns stamp set.

For the sentiment I used a verse from the Scriptures stamp set and layered it on various pieces of K&Company cardstock die-cuts.

To finish off my scene, I stamped the butterfly wings from the Mini Wings Stamp set on yellow patterned paper and added a little blue coloring with Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  

I cut the banner with my Cricut Stand and Salute Cartridge then stamped "Happy" from the Happy Day stamp set and hand wrote "Easter".  Next I attached ivy, flowers and an Easter egg to finish it off.

That's it friends, I hope you enjoyed my little Easter project!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and for all of the sweet comments you leave me.  I really appreciate it and enjoy reading them.

Have a Beautiful Day :D
