Hello wednesday - Easter eggs

clock March 28, 2012 09:29 by author Crafty Ribbons

Don't you just LOVE wednesday's? Say hello to wednesday  "hello wednesday" It's all downhill from now on to the weekend - yippee!!!

It would appear that Easter has sort of creeped up on me, it is NEXT weekend!!! Crikey - some serious Easter thinking has to be done.

Sydney had hurt her back at school yesterday and the only thing that would take the pain away was some crafting with Ali.....................I think a few porky pies were being told!  But we had a few hours of playing with ribbons and buttons.................

 

..................this was my creation. Layered grosgrain ribbons in 6mm here and 10mm here widths stuck onto card using double sided tape.  I then cut egg shapes in two different sizes.  I had chosen the ribbons that would best match the NEW Alphabet buttons here, a few bits of embroidery thread brought the eggs and buttons to life.

I tried different coloured back ground paper and nothing seemed to work.  I believed that this buff card makes the eggs and the EASTER buttons stand out - what do you think?

I had to promise Sydney that I would not photograph the card she made last night (it is really good), otherwise mummy would see it before Easter.  Bright girl!  So maybe I will reveal Sydneys Easter card over the Easter weekend.

I am really enjoying the weather, colours just seem to come alive when photographed outside....................I know we also need rain, so I am wishing for rain at night and sun during the day.  Oh what a perfect world!

Enjoy what ever you have planned today.

I'm with Sydney I can't think of a better way to take away the hurt than a bit of crafting - it heals the soul too didn't you know? :0)

I agree with Karen,crafting can heal anything.
Lovely card Ali, simple but stunning is your trademark.
I do think the buff card is perfect for the bright colours of the ribbons and buttons.
Looking forward to seeing Sydney's creation soon and hope her'poorly'  back is much better today. Hugs.xx
