Happy Easter packaging with CI#119 colours

Happy Easter to you all. Hope it is relaxed and filled with special moments with family and friends.

I have taken the colour challenge this week as inspiration for decorating my little Easter Egg packages. Using isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a few drops of each of the challenge colours, along with a few drops of white shimmer paint (sadly now retired) I mixed up 4 containers and spritzed the egg cartons in a random pattern. Calypso Coral, Magenta Madness, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party made a lovely palette.

Such a fresh and pretty combination.

I decorated 3 boxes with the different colours and also spritzed a sheet of Shimmery White cardstock which I then cut up into 2" strips for the tags. To finish them off I simply added some gold foil by smearing some Tombow glue in lines and swirls on the carton, waited until it was tacky and brushed some gold flakes over the areas with adhesive. If I knew it was this easy I may have been gilding everything in recent times! Such a simple technique.

Originally I was planning to make an Easter card using the fern, feather and butterfly from Positive Thoughts and Nature's Thoughts which are sadly retiring at the end of April. The card never came together as I wanted it to but the elements were still sitting on my desk so I added them to this Easter box.

It is nice to have them as decoration on our Easter Table. 

I hope the Easter Bunny found you and that you have had ample chocolate to bring some smiles.
