Fantabulous Cricut Challenge & Cuttlebug Challenge.

I had been sitting here wondering what I could make for this week's Fantabulous Challenge where the theme is to 'Create an Easter themed project using a Pastel color palette' when my friend called and asked if I with the help of my Cricut was capable of making an Easter Parade banner for her 2 year old's nursery school. Well of course I immediately I took up the challenge and it solved my issue of what to make for the Fantabulous Challenge. I think this also works for the Cuttlebug Challenge's challenge of 'Spring'. The Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge I used in this project was won from the Cuttlebug Challenge a couple of months ago so you never know if you join in you too could win a nice prize.

I have threaded some lace through the banner just for effect but the nursery are going to add string to it. I have also photographed it on the floor of my craftroom as I didn't want to stick it all to the walls only to be taken straight back down. Be warned there are quite a few photo's for this one.

So without further ado here is the banner in full.

A close up of the bunny which was cut at 7", the basket which was cut at 3" and the eggs are just 1" ovals as I did not have any eggs on my cartridges.

Here is the chick which was cut at 4.5", it didn't have any feet so I just added some myself.

Here are a couple of close up of the flags, these were cut at 5" with the lettering cut at 2". The flowers were cut at 1", 1.5" and 1.75" and the butterflies at 1".

I used Plantin Schoolbook, Everyday Paper Dolls and Accent Essentials for this project.
