I guess I am a proper pin badge roll at the moment as I drift further and further from card making. Everything I am making this Easter is destined to be fairing gifts for the staff at Iris and Bertie’s school, plus few family and friends.
They are pretty cheap to make and a brilliant way of using up small embellishments that seem lost on anything else. That being said, I don’t think I have ever made this much for Easter stuff before, always saying the colours and shapes don’t appeal to me, perhaps all this time in meltdown has finally got to me!
My first effort (above) wasn’t quite right but once I gave the MDF rabbit shapes a layer of white Ranger Enamel Accents and a face they took on a whole new character.
The rabbits were glued onto a wooden egg shape covered with scraps of patterned paper to create a basic background scene. It didn’t matter that the paper wrinkled a little as it would be pretty much covered over anyway.
I then added tiny Fimo nail art flowers to fill in the empty spaces and a light coat of Ranger Glossy Accents to protect the paper and give it all a bit of shine……
……. and finally, on the back, I added a brooch pin and an Easter greeting. All done and dusted!
