This month the design team at Red Rubber Designs is featuring ‘Special Occasions.’ Our spotlight stamp is Easter Chicks. All of the DT members will be sharing a project with this stamp during for the blog hop.
So, I have a few pictures to show the steps that I went through in creating this project.
My base is recycled packaging for a frame I used on a previous project. I covered it in gesso. The Tuscany Spice Paper Stack is my base paper and then I added a light pink homemade paper in various spots to create some texture. The papers were mod podged on the background. I sprayed the background with orange and violet sprays to achieve the colors I was looking for.
I then stamped several Background Elements to create a bit more texture and interest.
I rubbed a bit of white metallic paint over the raised areas to highlight. I really love how it came out.
I embellished with some flowers that have been coordinated in color. I used the cute little chick stamps around my central image.
Here is the Contest: Guess how many candies are in the candy dish. Guess how many Easter candies are in the candy dish and you could win the spotlight stamp set Easter Chicks. Send your guess to contest@RedRubberDesigns.com. If you have a blog, please include a link to it in your email. Contest ends Sunday, March 10 at midnight CST.
Thank you for looking and enjoy the blog hop:

Now that is truly clever to recycle and create such a great project.
I can’t believe you used a piece of packaging for this…totally looks like canvas! GORGEOUS!!! Simply gorgeous…love the texture! The flowers are amazing, and love the Easter bits!!!
Fantastic, Kate – another amazing “canvas” – really love how you created the background, and all those fussy cut images are so cute!

Very clever and helping the enviroment! Love the project and thanks for the tutorial.
What a gorgeous canvas Kate! Love it.
Rather than guess those candies, may I just count the jelly beans by eating them one at a time?
