Easter Bonnett

The card I have to share today is a fun little Easter bonnet. I paired Deckled Circles with Petal Park for a cute hat.

Circles

This little hat was cased from Sue Campfield and is very simple to make. Actually when cutting parts of the hat you only use half. So making at least two is pretty quick. Almost the entire card is made from the Deckled Circles Dies. The brim is the 2nd largest of the dies. After cutting the Lemon Lolly card stock, simply fold in half. For the crown I used the 9th largest and then cut it in half. This is one of the parts for a second card. I added Tear & Tape across the flap edge and placed it on the front of the brim fold

The DSP is cut using the 3rd largest Die. Again, cut it in half for another card. This piece also goes flush across the flat folded edge. And it covers the bottom of the crown where it was added. Also it allows for even margins around the curve. Not shown is the inside. But I used the same die to cut Basic White. Again cut it in half and adhere to the inside for your Happy Easter or other sentiment. Be sure to not put it all the way to the fold for easier folding of the card. Now your bonnet is bult.

Stamps

The inside of the card is not shown, but I used the Happy Easter from the Happy Easter stamp set for the inside sentiment. To decorate the crown of my hat, I went to the Petal Park stamp set and Punch. The flowers are stamped using Gorgeous Grape and then filled using Highland Heather. As I have said a few times, purple was my Mom’s favorite color and I especially think of that at Easter. The leaves are from the same set and are Garden Green for the outline with Old Olive as the fill.

Finishes

To complete the card I added the DSP on the brim. I failed to say that it was from the Lighter Than Air Designer Series paper. It was chosen for the touch of purple! The other halves of the DSP, crown, and inside Basic White will finish a second card when you cut another full circle for the base. That is a Win in my book.

The final touches are the ribbon and bling. The ribbon is the yellow from the Sheer Ribbon Combo. Have you noticed that I used all three of those ribbons on cards this week? It was not intentional, but what was the best fit. In this case I double the ribbon and then simply tied a knot. The ribbon is very sheer and I wanted it to look denser. I have never done that before and now love the idea. Of course the final touch is bling. The centers for each of the flowers is from the Rainbow Dots. It is a soft yellow that seemed perfect.
