This is Anja. I've made a different kind of project today. My mother has a coop full of chicken at her small farm. And sometimes she gives eggs to someone as a small gift. And that's how I got and idea for using one of the new dies. I decorated a box for eggs.
For this project I used:
- Cottage Cutz die (Chicken & Coop),
- Distress Inks (Barn Door, Fired Brick, Wild Honey, Aged Mahogany, Tea Dye, Pumice Stone, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Black Soot),
- white card stock for die cuts,
- scissors,
- black pen,
- black brush pen,
- paper glue,
- corner punch.
First I cut and colored the chickens and the coop. I used black pen for the eyes.
Then I measured the paper for the box. I made two 2,5x8cm strips and one 7x8 cm rectangle. I rounded the corners with the punch. I colored the edges from lighter to darker colors.
Then I first decorated the box and then glued the chickens on top of it. I used brush marker to write the words.
And this is my finished egg box.
Have a nice Sunday and see you again next week.
