Hello!!!
Can you believe
its almost Easter already??!?!? Today I have a fun little Easter
project to share with you. Those of you that know me will be aware of
my love of fairies and fantasy, so of course Easter at my house means we
have Dragon Eggs!!
For this project
you will need some tissue paper, some 'eggs' ( I used polystyrene ones
from spotlight, but you could use a blown egg if you are more patient
than me...LOL). You will need some glue or medium for gluing the
tissue, a heat tool and some Colour Blast sprays, pastes and embossing
powders.
Firstly, take a
piece of tissue paper, (I have used black as I really like how the
colours contrast against it, but you can use any colour). Scrunch the
tissue up so you have lots of texture, then flatten it out again.
Using the glue/gel
medium, cover the surface of the egg with the tissue making sure you
leave the texture clearly visible and set aside to dry. You can use
your heat tool to help speed this along but be mindful if you are using
polystyrene eggs as they will melt inside the tissue so keep a bit of
distance and keep the heat tool moving.
Once they are all
dry the fun begins! I added a little of the paste in Royalty to my
finger and gently rubbed it into the surface of the egg, this catches
all the raised parts of the tissue texture and leaves the lower areas
black, I dried this with the heat tool, then I sprayed the egg with Deep
water and set it aside to dry.
The next egg was done in the same fashion using Bling and Deep Water paste and then spraying over the top with Bling.
The next one I did
a little differently, using the Rose Petal embossing powder to cover
the bottom of the egg. Remember to keep the heat tool moving so as not
to
melt the polystyrene egg. Once the embossing powder was set, I went
over the egg as I had done with the other two, firstly with some Bling
paste and then some Bling spray.
Once all your eggs
are coloured and dry you can adorn them with jewels, chains, beads
sequins, just about anything! This is a fun project you can do with the
kids too, they will love making the eggs and telling you all about
their dragon baby inside waiting to hatch!
You can find all the Colour Blast products HERE.
I wish you all a happy and safe Easter break and thanks for dropping in. xx
