Easter

Hi Everyone, Jane in Berkshire here.
I am a bit late posting this week, as we had a quick dash to Canterbury to help our eldest son move house.
Here is my Easter Bonnet tag.
I used an image from my favourite Victorian fashions book and coloured it in. The lady has updated her wardrobe for Easter by trimming the cuffs with lace and her Easter bonnet with flowers.
I used card stock as a background and placed my lady on top of it. I sewed some lovely flower beads onto the picture, and gave her an earring. I used some flowers made from an old gardening catalogue using 2 different shaped cutters and added some stick- on flowers from my stash, before finishing off with a nice bright ribbon.


I added a close up photo to see the detail of the flowers. Hope the original photo is clear enough, I took it against a background of spring tulips from a magazine.


Happy Easter to you all!
