First up is this bee-ee-ay-utiful card from the very talented Nat over at Kool Kitty Musings, isn't it gorgeous? My favourite part is the sweet little nest with the darling blue eggs, just perfect!
I saw these pretty decorated egg cartons on pinterest and it sparked my imagination
Here is my version that I sent to the lovely Nat.
I tried spray painting one of the boxes but the smell was horrendous so I covered the second box in a layer of gesso then 2 coats of white acrylic paint.
I then filled each cup with little treats and goodies. I am so pleased with how it turned out, I have one more box left and I can't wait to make another!
Thank so much for reading, have a great week!

PS - How did I forget to post THIS Easter fail?
At the time it all seemed like such a good idea
- ingeniously (and I use that in the loosest possible sense) using passé fibers to create a nest? Check.
- adding hand coloured little feathers? Check.
- badly coloured eggs? Yup.
- poorly executed ribbon banner? Uh huh.
PPS - I also give up on trying to fix the fonts and font colours on this post.
What a fabulous altered egg carton-- so sweet and fun!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh so that was the source of the egg box! How lovely, I am just disappointed I didn't see any of these egg and spoon moouses in the shops around here, I'd been looking out for them too to enjoy after my Lent chocolate-drought.
ReplyDeleteI love my egg box, so thank you again for sending me it - I am wondering if any of the items inside will work on a Christening card I need to make. We shall see. ;o)
And your fuzzy egg nest, oh my your comments did make me laugh, especially one of them!
I think your card is just darling! I didn't see those egg cartons on Pinterest, I for sure would have pinned them, they're so much fun! Your take is wonderful!
