Easter chicks

Another quick recycling project, this time using an old lid from what I planned would be a paper box filled with chocolate I could give away for Easter. Once it was done, I didn't quite like the outcome, so I proceeded to demolish everything. However, I did my best with saving the cover as I thought I could use it for something else. 

After many considerations, I decided to place the finished lid on a plain white card base to create a rather simple Easter/spring card. Apart from that, there isn't much to say about the project itself: the cute Sarah Kay image is coloured with coloured pencils in brown-ish shades that I thought would match the chocolate treasure inside the box. 

Once the colouring was done, I placed the motif on a brown background paper which I upcycled with a border punch. Then, I glued everything on a shimmering white background paper with a floral pattern, and placed a couple of rhinestones on the blooms. 

A little contribution to the April collection of Create in Austria - artwork created by Austrians and/or in Austria.

And as the post is a rather short one, plus to complete the Easter theme for this year, I'll finish off by adding a snap of beautifully scratched eggs from the Easter egg exhibition at Ljubljana castle.
