Hello Friends!
Happy April - No Foolin :)
April's Monthly Challenge at Gecko Galz is Easter Magic!
And today is my day to share my creations with you...kick back and enjoy...
My first project that I made is this set of embroidery hoops filled with Easter goodness! I used several different collage sheets - I started off by using the Cotton Tail ATC sheet to create the backgrounds which I printed onto rice paper. It adds such a lovely translucent look while being very strong which is what I wanted since I mounted it in the hoops.
The main images of each hoop are from the Spring Bunnies collage set. I then filled in the background using all sorts of images from Easter Parade, Holiday Icons, Eggstrodianary, Easter Tokens and Hip Hop Easter. I also added bits of lace, ribbon, butterflies and flowers to finish them off.

Next up I made some ornaments for my Easter Tree (I decorate a tree for the various holidays).
The first set of ornaments are these Shaker Eggs....
These are made using a plastic egg which comes apart to fill. You can make 2 ornaments out of each egg. I traced the egg onto chipboard and cut it a bit larger to ensure I could glue it down properly. I added images from Spring Bunnies and Easter Toppers collage sheets. Each egg was filled with mini plastic eggs, sequins and shaker bits then the back was glued to the egg. I added a bit of ribbon for hanging and wired tinsel garland around each egg.
Next up are my Cracked Egg ornaments...
I thought it would be fun to make a hidden surprise in these ornaments so they look like an egg with a crack running down the center... when you crack open the egg you find a darling little image hidden inside! The egg images are from Eggstraordinary and the inside images are from Here Comes Easter collage sheets.
My final offering are a set of 3D Decoupage Easter cards which were all made using the Easter Magic Card Toppers and the backgrounds are from the Easter Parade Craft Kit. To achieve the 3D effect each image was printed 3-4x then the individual pieces were cut and affixed to a base layer and built up using foam tape.
Hope you have enjoyed hopping by and checking out my Easter creations!
Stop by the blog all this month to see what the rest of the team has whipped up for you.
