It's time for another challenge at the Bitten By The Bug 2 (BBTB2) challenge site. Each challenge lasts two weeks and the current challenge theme is Easter/Bunnies. Perfect, considering Easter is right around the corner.
I bought these plain eggs/carton from the Dollar Tree and knew I had to do something with them.
I searched for some basic line drawn Easter images and found Chick & Bunny from Baby Animals set in Cricut Access and typed words using the Kyden font. Cut them with vinyl and applied to the eggs...but before I did that, I decided to "dye" these eggs to pastel colors.
To "dye" the eggs, I used pastel acrylic. I had to paint three coats to get a good coverage. I used paint brushes to hold the eggs up while they were drying.
Egg-stra goodness! Wonderful way to use the Dollar Tree eggs. Like the dyeing of eyes and adding the vinyl to decorate. I miss when my daughter was younger and we would color/dye eyes for Easter. Now I use Tim Holtz alcohol ink to color/dye plastic eggs. Happy Easter!

Cute idea and I love that they came with their own carton holder. The pastel colors do look better.
