Welcome to DAY 1
of our EASTER Blog Hop
Let's start off with an AMAZING Easter project from Petaloo DT member Nichola Battilana... Don't forget to see what Authentique is doing too ... see
~ ~ ~ ~
Does the Easter Bunny visit your house? He hops to our place every year. He leaves so many treats for our kiddo that it is obvious those goodies are intended for sharing. Good guy that bunny. In his honor I've created a bunny abode. Down the rabbit hole we go!
The base of this piece is a gift box turned on it's head. The lid is now acts as the base, and the bottom is now the top and home to a pretty Burlap Blossom garden.
Follow the ladder and you can spy where that clever bunny keeps his eggs! Create your own ladder with long and standard match sticks. Those little baskets are simply crocheted with Natural Burlap Trims.
The exterior of this piece has been covered with "virtue" from Authentique's Treasure collection. You'll also find an assortment of Petaloo Fancy Trims, more Burlap Blossoms and some Botanica Petite's too.
Inside, more papers from Authentique's Treasure collection: "enhancements", "cheery", "adorable" and "synthesize". The floor is covered with "darling" which I've toned down slightly with a wash of white paint.
And that's that! I do hope the bunny visits us again this year because heaven knows all of the sweets here will need to be replenished ;)

Oh my gosh. This is adorable and so clever. Great job. Love the layers of flowers at the top and that ladder. The baskets are so cute and look so easy to recreate and filled with mini eggs is perfect. Love it.
