Hi there, it's Maria again with my monthly post. Don't you love it when you get an idea in your head and the finished product actually comes out just as you imagined? Well, it doesn't happen to me very often, believe me, but today I am so thrilled to share with you one project that did. I think it may even be better than I hoped! I was looking for a cute way to make a box to put some candy in for Easter. There have been some really creative things done with the ice cream cone on the Sweet Tooth Boxes cartridge and I decided to try it. For the my project I used cuts <ConeLy1> which is the egg and <ConeLy2>, the chick. I cut them at 10"
The chick's comb and eyes are from the County Fair cartridge. His beak is a diamond cut from George and Basic Shapes. I scored and folded it just either side of the center so I would have a flat surface to glue to his face. His wings are paisley cuts using the shadow feature from the Paisley cartridge.
I decorated the shell by weaving three pieces of baker's twine through a piece of lace ribbon then gluing it around. I then added a button with a piece of hemp twine.
Hope you like my little Easter chick as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by today!
Maria
