Easter Wall Decor

I learned, many years ago, that if I needed to buy some special item for a project I should buy two of them rather than just one.   So, when I needed a white shadow box for my St. Patrick's Day project, I bought two of them and sure enough, in taking them out of their packages,  I managed to damage one frame!  So, there it sat on my desk for a week until yesterday, while flipping through the 'Easter' images in Design Space, I came across one of my favorite images from the Easter seasonal cart - this cute little chocolate bunny with his ears nibbled on one side.




Aha!   Inspiration struck and here's the result: -




 The 11 patterned paper bunnies are #M33047 from Theresa Collins' Bunnies and Chicks and I duplicated the chocolate bunny's bow and added one to each of the other bunnies.


I learned how to make the teeny tiny rolled rose from a tutorial on Paulette's blog here.  I used my quilling tool to roll them and glued them onto tiny scraps of paper which were then trimmed close to the base of the rose.







And of course, the damaged frame offered an opportunity to embellish!




I am linking my project with Challenge #272 - Easter over on the FCCB blog


and with the Spring Flings and Easter Things over on the BBTB2 blog.

  7. I love the rosettes as bunny tails, and I love tale your shadow box tells. That chocolate bunny looks like he's trying to blend in so he doesn't get any more bites! So clever!

    Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Happy Easter (Bunny) challenge!
