I hope you’ve enjoyed the Paper Garden Projects March challenges so far! Today’s third challenge is to create a card or project using spring or Easter colors. I made this coaster borrowing the idea from the wonderfully talented Betty Wright and used the super cute Butterfly Bunny from Penny Black. I have the single wood-mounted stamp, but PGP carries the Garden Friends clear stamp set that includes it.
I still need to cover the tile with a sealant like Preserve Your Memories II to prevent the watercolored image from bleeding and add cork paper to the back of the tile so off to Jo-Ann’s and/or Michael’s I go :).
I got a box of 10 Travertine 4x4 tiles from Lowe’s for the incredible price of $2.28! Make sure you select a tile that is relatively smooth so your image will stamp evenly. I plan on stamping a different Easter or spring image on each one and gifting it as a set of 5. Two gift sets for the price of one! I love bargains that turn into a unique gift!
So, get your creative juices flowing and join in on this challenge! You have until midnight, March 29 (Monday) to link your card/project in the comment section of PGP’s current challenge post. The prize is two stamps and you can see what they are over at the PGP blog. Have fun and don’t forget to come back next week for our Fourth Friday Fun Challenge!
