Twist on an Easter Basket


(click pictures to enlarge)

I'm in an Easter basket swap in a group I belong to and didn't want to do a standard Easter basket. hmm....what to make...what to use...Ahh-HA another of those light blub moments hit me! Why not use one of the cardboard suit cases I picked up at Big Lots a few years back! Perfect! Even though it already had decorative paper on it it wasn't what I was wanting since my person liked blue. I painted it with gesso then misted it with my Color Mists
I then added some decorative scrapbook paper, rub-ons, a few fairies, flowers misted with Color Mists and a bird or two. When I was finished I sealed the entire piece inside and out with what else but PYM II.
Here it is packed full of goodies!
Now all I have to do is ship it off!

Glitzy Easter Egg Project

Glitzy Easter Egg
Here's a mini project I did using a small plastic egg from the craft store...not the eggs that come apart--though you could and just position the flowers to cover the seam yet allow you to open and shut the egg using those type of eggs. This particular egg I used some small paper flowers that came with the rhinestones already on them. I glued them to the egg overlapping some and after the adhesive had dried I spritz them with my new Sorbet Color Mists. While it was still wet I sprinkled the egg with extra fine crystal glitter--I love this fine glitter because it sticks to anything that is wet you don't have to use adhesive with it. I then dried the wet flowers with the heat gun. I'm thinking of adding a ribbon to hang it.

Colored Easter Eggs!



It's a little early yet for Easter but I wanted to experiment a bit before Easter arrived. A few years ago my friend Karen Owen colored some Easter eggs using my Color Mists and they turned out great (click HERE to view Karens). Here's my version....I found that if I dipped them in white vinegar first that helped the Color Mists to stick better and I also used my heat gun to dry it on and layered the colors little by little. I also found that setting them in a bowl on a paper towel worked best.
