The Great Cover-Up

March 16, 2022      Papertrey Ink      Leave a Comment

 

Hi everybody, welcome to our next episode of The Great Cover-Up!


Let’s get started!

I have been anxious to use the darling grass from our Weave a Basket die collection to build a nest for my eggs, also from this die collection.  Today’s card shows you just how I achieved that look, using my nest, speckled eggs, and metal bucket in lots of lovable layers!

I first cut my grass from Kraft cardstock and then swiped it across my Versamark ink pad.  I then added Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel and heat set it in place.  These pieces created my nest…aren’t they cute?

I nestled my grass in my Vase Collection 7 Mini bucket.  I then added my eggs which I colored using sponged on ink in Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist, and Pale Peony.  I spritzed them with water and once dried, splattered them with soft, brown paint.

I layered my completed nest and bucket or a die cut Love to Layer:  Scalloped Circle die, the new Delicate Circle die, a layer of vellum, and then a bottom layer of a Bitty Big Mint Julep Love to Layer:  Scalloped Circle.  To finish, I added my sentiment, stamped on a die cut Banner Builder:  Basics.  My sentiment is from the Just Sentiments:  Easter Mini stamp set.

Happy Spring crafting!

Melissa
