Happy Sunday, friends! I finished this project in the wee hours of the morning...I just couldn't stop till they were done...psycho!
These are 3" terra cotta pots (.69 cents each at JoAnn's) painted with FolkArt acrylic paints in lilac, pink blossom, light foliage green and jamaican sea. After letting them dry, I glazed each one with Glossies high gloss acrylic enamel. The wonderful baskets full of eggs are Gina K.'s *Baskets of Happiness* set and the adorable bunny and chick are Melanie Muenchinger's *Just So Hoppy* set. Both of these sets are perfect for Spring, the upcoming holidays and year round fun! You can get a closer look at them at Gina K. Designs. I colored all my images with a variety of inks and blender pen, glitter pens, colored pencils finished with baby oil and stickles for sparkle. I glued different ribbons to around the rim of the pots and even stamped around the green one using the little flower from Melanie's other set *Just So Hippy*. I added a dot of aqua stickles to the center of each flower and let it dry overnight (it didn't smear after that). I then painted kabob sticks the same for colors as the pots and attached them to the framed images using tape. Finally, I filled each pot with crimped paper shreds and candy.
Thank you for visiting! Hugs and Happy Stamping!
