Well, it's almost Easter and I wanted to make something. I was inspired by this new embossing powder Emerald Creek Crafts Supplies just released... Hammered Metal. So of course that means Easter!
Or in this case Hammered Metal Bunny Bags.
I started with a bunch of my dies, movers and shapers, thinlits and magnetic plate.
I cut the bunnies out with mat board then inked with seedless preserves distress spray. Then I added my Hammered Metal powder. I added 2 coats of powder.
I really wanted to play with the new
Hammered Metal embossing powder. Look how yummy this is... so thick!!!
I cut the In the Bag bags using Kraft Paper then stamped with the Graph background stamp. Check out these metal bunnies!
Once the bags are built I inked the edges with ground espresso distress ink. The handwritten celebrate words are cut with Sizzix Watercolor pattern paper and inked with wilted violet.
I wanted to try my distress crayon seedless preserve on ribbon and see the effect. I added a strip of colour down the center. To get it to feather out I used a baby wipe and rubbed.
Check out how cute these are and simple.
By stamping the bag it helps break us the colour and adds a layer.
When you add 2 it gets super thick! You can see the little pops of seedless preserves coming through. This little guy looks almost like liquid.
Stuff with Easter treats and tie it off.
I hope this quick project gives you some ideas for whipping something fun up.
Lets play...

GORGEOUS bunnies! I need some hammered metal now! LOVE the bags too...so fun. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteAw, these are so cute!! I think you might have gotten a little confused for Creative Carte Blanche - our challenge was corrugated, metal and lace. But these little bunnies are fun anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh thanks Cheryl you guys can remove me;). So many challenges options... {giggle}
DeleteNo, we don't want to do that! Just didn't want other entrants to be confused. Happy Easter!
DeleteWow! Nicole! I'm so happy you introduced us to that Hammered Metal powder. It is on my list for sure! Great job on the bunnies and sweet little project altogether!
