Easter Chic Elizabeth Bell exclusive at CHA Now!

It's Monday here in Anaheim California and I'm ready to meet and greet some more wonderful people at the CHA show!  Jody Stacy and I have really been working the booth this year, showing off the lovely release of E. Bell stamps and the MiRan stamps along with the rest of Treasured Times collections!  Handing out catalogs, taking business cards, shaking hands, showing samples and eating in between!

Today's project is one of my all time favorites I think!  It's only on a tag but because I used a hexagon set of dies from Whimsy Stamps to decorate the edges with the gorgeous NEW paper collection from Michele Roos called Kingdom Gold and Green and the NEW Dewdrop die border and circle dies I designed, I quickly fell in love!

Thank you so much for hopping with us today and I hope you enjoy my creation for the release!  I wanted to create a project again that completely shows off this gorgeous little country loving gal and add just a few little extras that could be used for inspiration, like I did with my Picked Sweet project.  Her hair needed to be simply light enough to show off the ring of flowers and still look kissed by the sun.  The butterflies with the crackle paint and gloss have that little bit of glitter needed to finish off the effect.  I trimmed off the curves on the bag and punched some matching flowers in to add some texture and hand rolled some Shape EZ swirl flowers in matching bazzill then distressed with Ranger for the final touches.  Each little butterfly has it's gem and makes for a perfect gift bag for anyone!  The whole project after coloring was about 30 minutes, the coloring was about 1 1/2 hours and was a great deal of fun from start to finish!
