Come see my brood!

I knew it was the last day of term for the students tomorrow but I'm not really sure that it fully sunk in! I should have called at the supermarket tonight to buy Easter eggs for my class but the long and short of it is that I didn't.  So this evening when I should have settled down in front of the fire for the evening I had a mad dash to Asda.  They had plenty of eggs so there were no worries there but they didn't have any Easter cards. What to do? Well, make them of course!

First of all I sketched out my design.

 I was going to paint it with watercolours but quite honestly I had no motivation to do so.  So I looked through my crafty bits and found some papers that I liked...

 

I decided to tear the shapes from the papers as you can get quite a nice effect. After fiddling and faffing I changed the shape of my chick until I was happy. I glued my shapes onto the background and drew around the shapes with a fine black liner pen.

I then scanned my collage onto the computer and added some words.  I printed them out multiple times and cut them out ready to stick to some card blanks.

 

 

I couldn't just leave it there because it lacked something.  So at 10 o'clock tonight I have found myself sewing around the edges of the cards and now I'm happy! In fact I really am rather chuffed!

 

 

They are such cute little things, why they even lined up whilst they were waiting! ;-)
