Easter Table 1
Image

I was inspired by the branches and the colour...
Image

I really loved the paper of the cream at the top and little birds on branches....
but would have loved the bottom bit to be pink instead of blue, so started fussy cutting this Songbird 'Sunrise' Paper
Image

And replaced the blue bit with this gorgeous pink paper
Image

White washing over these ticket stamps inked in black soot can give a romantic look and soften the colour a bit. The leaves are goregous and velvet like
Image

These gorgeous little stitched canvas banner pieces add a lovely element to the flower vine I even threaded the little banner with one of the stringy-wire vine pieces.
Image
Added to the LO are the Chipboard pieces and cute little Butterflies


Easter Table 2
Image

My inspiration came from the style of the chairs which I matched to the little resin windowsand the horizontal line of flowers, so used Camille , Lucerne , flower vine in a paler lemon and in a vertical sytle.
Image

Can you see the sweet cream envelopein the vine... its one in a packet of vintage trinkets. And love this green background paper with its elegant white border
Image
Also used are a teapot stamp seen peeking out from the left side of the photo, Chipboard Stickers, bird twill trim, and green lace. A mixture of alpha's are used Songbird Stickers which has a couple of different fonts on it.


Easter Table 3
Image

Loved the colour and the vertical centrepiece feel of this pic, it also features nature too.
The blue background paper is Sunkiss 'Sun dried'
Image

These are the little Resist Canvas Butterflies (not available in shop) but there are plenty of other Resist Canvas products you can do this same technique with... its fun! Pretty self explanatory!
Image
There's a couple of colours of Maya Rd mists in the shop. :P
Image

Image

Image

The vertical centre piece is made up of paint on the bird stamp and these fab little wooden buttons.
Image
Added to the LO is the gorgeous green lace and cream measuring tape and black lace.

I hope you feel inspired to go sit at that scrapping desk!! :P

I've done one room/table so far. I went with table number 3. Here is my take on it.
