Step by Step by Ageeth Holster
Hi everyone, today I’m showing you my first step-by-step tutorial of this month. I hope you like it and I’m calling it ‘an Easter Fairy Egg’. Hope you will give it a try, there’s a lot of mindful cutting and colouring, on a rainy day it’s a lovely thing to do. I’ll hang this egg in my Easter branch.
Step 1.
Draw 4 ovals, 10.5 cm tall and 8 cm wide, from a piece of multifarious card and cut them out.
Step 2.
Blend some colour into the eggs with Elements Sundance in the middle and Sahara on the outside.
Step 3.
Score a line just in the middle over the longest side.
Step 4.
Stamp Silhouette Grass LAV680 in Shady lane and See a fairy make a wish LAV485 in Elements Sahara. I made the grass slightly darker at the bottom with Posca Khaki Green.
Step 5.
I stamped on multifarious card Forest Leaf LAV845 in Versafine Avocado, Shady Lane and Rain Forest.
Step 6.
And coloured them in with several darken light greens Mondeluz Watercolor pencils.
Step 7.
I stamped on multifarious card Moss Flowers LAV898 in Nocturne and coloured them in with several pinks Mondeluz Watercolor pencils.
Step 8.
I stamped on multifarious card Eira LAV1026, Nia LAV767, Pris LAV973, Fip LAV697 in Nocturne and coloured them in with Mondeluz Watercolor Pencils.
Step 9.
Then I stamped on multifarious card the Mini Flutter LAV623 in Nocturne and coloured them in with Mondeluz watercolor pencils.
Step 10.
Next I Stamped the Wild hares set large LAV608 and Midnight Meandering LAV261 in Fallen leaves and coloured them in with Gioconda soft pastel pencils.
Step 11.
Then I glued the pieces of the egg together to make 2 halves. Make sure that it fits nicely together on the edges.
Step 12.
Then glue the 2 halves together and before you do that cut a piece of yellow ribbon and glue it between the 2 halves, so now you have 1 egg (The avocado box you see on the photo is just there to hold the egg straight).
Step 13.
I cut all the coloured leaves, rabbits, flowers, fairies and butterflies and I curved them a bit with a pen on a piece of mouse pad.
Step 14.
Now you can decorate the four sides of the egg however you like.
Step 15.
I stamped the swing LAV976 for Pris and cut this out. The middle of the swing I didn’t cut out and coloured it a bit.
Step 16.
This is my design of one side. Gave the butterflies a shine with Wink of Stella clear also all the fairy wings. I used Stickles purple for the flowers, colored orbs with Posca Yellow and White.
I glued some moss flowers above the egg and added some purple glitter.
Step 17.
Here is the finished Easter egg.
I hope you will give it a try, would love to see yours, it’s nearly Easter.
