Vilda Stamps - Happy Easter Pillow Box

Hello, my friends!

I'm back to share my second project for Vilda Stamps!

On the 12th and 21st of each month, I will be sharing two projects, in two separate blog posts,

that I hope will inspire you to get some Vilda Stamps of your own.

They have such a fabulous variety of stamps to create with!

This time I have a fun little Easter project to share.
I have created a Pillow Box,
along with a little Easter Card.

I have used the Twigs Stamp Set V435, and English Texts 2010 V693.

Here's my fun little Easter Set:

Here's a closer look at the little note card. 

It measures only 2 1/4" square.

I first stamped the greeting with orange ink but it was quite faint.

I then stamped green over the orange, and I liked it.

To make the pillow box, I started with a piece of Bristol Paper.

I created a resist by heat embossing the twig stamps randomly over the paper,

using white embossing powder. 

I then spritzed the paper with water, and sprinkled it with Color Burst Powder.

I added more water, as I wanted to keep everything light fresh.

To present it, I filled it and wrapped it with white seam binding.

Here's a closer look at the embossed twigs.

The detail is fantastic!

Here I've removed the seam binding so you can have a better look.

This is the other side.

I really love these twig stamps. They'll be fun for so many different projects!

I thought the end result was perfect for an Easter treat set.
Wouldn't it be fun to have a whole basket of these boxes in a variety of pastel colours?
The twig stamping is so very Springy!
