My apologies, I am really into making pin badge/brooches at the moment, so I warn you, there might be a whole plethora of them coming along until I get them out of my system!
This is my second attempt at these scenic bunny pin badge/brooches.The first one I made (below) but when I went back to it the next day just seemed too brash, the jewels were more Christmas than Easter, it just wasn’t subtle enough, so I decided to start again.
Second time round I went for much paler patterned paper scraps for the background ……..
…… and likewise for the wooden wreath embellishments.
Instead of jewels I decided to use enamel nail art pens for a more natural (?) effect.
The tip is so fine I was able to create really tiny flowers which I did in three separate layers so they really stuck out.
I also used Ranger Enamel Accents on the wooden bunnies, which were originally natural or pink in colour, again adding to the subtle enameled effect I was looking for.
When everything was completely dry I was able to finally put the bunny in the middle of the scene and the pin fastening on the back, along with a little faux stitching around the edge.
I have to admit that I am really pleased with this idea, I have had the wreaths for ages, and hadn’t really known how to use them, however, as always is the way they have led me to an Idea for a Halloween pin badge ……. so watch this space tomorrow.
