Easter Decorations (LMMS Inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's Little Miss Muffet Stamps Inspiration Week and I made these Easter Decorations: Sheep Magnet and Easter Basket. :o)

I love my last week's card I made for LMMS challenge #160 and a color scheme, so I decided to make Easter Decorations using same image and in same color scheme.

For the magnet I used an adorable LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Claribella' digital stamp. I printed the image on a watercolor paper and left it dry couple days to prevent ink smearing. It's enough to leave printed image drying couple hours or through the night. I didn't have time to color it, so it was drying couple days. :o)

I colored the image in watercolor technique using Distress Inks and aquarel colored pencils. After drying, I fussy cut the image, leaving thin white border around it. I traced the image on a magnet sheet, cut it out a bit smaller than the colored image and glued together the magnet and the image. I pressed the magnet with a 32 cm x 32 cm, 1 cm thick glass plate and left it pressed for an hour. As a finishing touch, I added white highlights to the image.

Approximate Magnet dimensions: 85 mm x 110 mm

List of supplies magnet:

• LMM's Forgotten Scraps 'Claribella' digital stamp
• Koh-i-noor pop Aquarel Watercolor Paper, 250 gms
• Tim Holtz's Distress Inks
• Hickory Smoke
• Black Soot
• Koh-i-noor Hardtmuth Mondeluz aquarel colored pencils 3710
• Light Green 25
• Dark Green 26

• magnet sheet
• UHU universal glue
• scissors
• printer
• Marabu fine rounded paint brush no. #0
• eraser
• water
• paper towels
• 32 cm x 32 cm x 1 cm glass plate

For the basket I used lovely gingham paper from Lili of the Valley 'Butterfly Kisses' Paper Pad and a white cardstock paper. You can find more details on how to make basket in my old post, here. This one is smaller. I made it from 126 mm x 126 mm square gingham paper.

After I assembled the basket, I attached a handle to it, using brads, so the handle can move. :o)

I decorated the basket with a scalloped border punched stripe, filled the basket with an artificial grass and my basket was finished. It's large enough for a chicken egg. :o)

Lovely crochet hearts in the basket are made by Jane Beljo of Plain Jane. Love them!!! :o)

List of supplies basket:

• Lili of the Valley 'Butterfly Kisses' 8x8 Paper Pad (green gingham)

It's time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge Blog. It's #160, Anything Goes Challenge.
