Easter Chicks

My last post before we go to Germany. The Easter Market weekend has finally arrived and I am a bit on the tired side .... everything is packed in boxes ready to go. With me goes a whole gang of cheeky chicks

  

they all sit on wooden spools with lace

 

and a little nest of tattered flowers (paper: Prima Marketing), 

Hessian ribbon and lace

perched next to a little paper flower and a little pearl

 Wishing you all a lovely weekend, see you next week, Petra.

Autumn Leaves

... on and in an empty ribbon spool. I had it for ages and it was such fun to alter it!

I gently took the spool apart and covered the back and the outside with patterend paper from JillibeanSoup. For the inside I decided on a crackled look using PaperArtsy Fresco chalk and crackle paint (this worked a treat!). The acorns and leaves are stamped, cut out, coloured with colouring pencils and covered with Diamond Glaze. The stamps are from a Dutch stamp company called Ludies-Different Colors. They have brilliant designs and the quality is great, it was a treat to use them.
As finishing touches I found a little leftover organza ribbon, some pearls and a little stamped word label (Crafty  Individuals). Have a lovely evening, Petra.
