This is our second tour. We decided upon the theme of Easter. At the end of each post there will be a link to take you to the next stop on the tour. It would be fantastic if you could leave a comment on each blog! So grab a cuppa, and set off on what we are hoping will be an inspirational journey!
Here is my project for the blog hop. I have made a card and a mini milk carton filled with chocolate eggs.
Some closeup of the card. I had just the easter wishes stamps from Occassional Greetings stamp set which I have used as background for both the card and the milk carton. Stamp-a-magic was used extensively to create the background.
I chose the colors Purple, White and Green for this project because easter color purple is indicative of royalty. It is said that the color purple brings wealth. The color green brings ray of hope. White color signifies purity and grace.
Here is the closeup of the mini milk carton. Just google for the template and print it directly on the cardstock, then cut, score and assemble the milk carton. Simple and easy. I used circle punch and punched a circle on one side of the milk carton and glued a piece of acetate inside and made a window on the milk carton.
Here is the picture of the package again.
Recipe to make this project involves
CS: Kraft, Confetti White, Elegant Eggplant
Inks: Old Olive,Perfect Plum
Stamp sets: Occassional Greetings, Bitty Birthday and Seeing Spots
Accessories: 5/8′ grossgrain Old Olive ribbon, Button Bouquet, Hemp twine, Circle punch, Acetate sheet, Eyelet Border punch Rhinestones from Kaisercraft and Cadbury easter eggs (Yum!)

Beautiful, Gayatri! I love the purple and green with kraft, and your projects are stunning. Love what you came up with.
I love the colours you used and you card is stunning. The eggs on the card look amazing with the flowers and the rhinestones. I also love the milk carton. I have seen the milk carton before but did not think about using it for easter eggs. Thank you for the great ideas. I also think i forgot to mention that you did a great job for Just Add Ink Challenge #5. Glad to see that it got a highlight. 🙂
Great work Gayatri. Love the little milk carton.
STunning colours Gayatri. I love your little bag
I have always loved the craft paper and you have made it even better. Thanks for sharing your wonderul gift with us Gayatri

I love the thought that you put in to the colour scheme and appreciate all the work that it took with that stamp-a-majig! I dont have any dsp paper, so I'm usually stamping my own paper to get a background and I loved your ideas. Thanks for sharing and great work on the other challenge too!
Hi Gayatri, What a lovely mini milk carton and matching cards, someone is going to be soooo lucky to receive them (and those chocolates)
This is a lovely combination of gift and card for Easter.
Your work is beautiful and I love how you choose your colour theme because of their meaning
Cheers
Mary

The Easter wishes stamp is the only one I have, so now I have a project that inspires me to make something for Easter! Thanks
