Whimsical Easter Garland for De Stash Challenge

Easter is less than one week away and I wanted to add something whimsical for our little ones!  All supplies were already in my stash, so that means it was created totally for free, right?  ;-) 

To begin, white card stock was cut in 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 rectangles.  For this project I attempted a darling sheep along with a couple of eggs and a bunny.  I traced cut outs left over from last year's Freestyle Easter Cards with Matching Envelopes.

Water color resist is still difficult for me, especially dispensing in a consistent even manner, but each attempt is a little more steady.  The water color choices were just whatever caught my fancy at the moment.

Meh...

I kind of like the bunny, but the others, not so much.  Out came a yellow pompom, markers and colored pencils for a bit of touch up and more contrast.

Contrast is a good thing!

Next, they were strung on a rough textured ribbon with the bits left over from last year's Freestyle Easter Cards with Matching Envelopes using tiny clothes pins.

I love all the different colors and whimsical shapes!  Our front window feels much brighter now!

I hope you and your family enjoy a lovely Easter holiday!
