Altered Dies #5

Welcome back to another altered die project. Easter will soon be here and it is time to think about those Easter bonnets! When I was growing up my mother, her friends and I wore Easter hats to church on Easter Sunday. Do you remember those days? I am showing my age. LOL! Here is my altered die card with an Easter bonnet.




I started with the Rose Basket Marianne Die.




To make the basket look more like a bonnet, I added back in the little pieces that were cut out! Boy THAT was fun! LOL! I then taped the back so that they would stay in. Then I cut off the handle and decorated it with little die cut flowers and a bow!




The second die I used was the Memory Box Small Alder Tree. 




I snipped off a few pieces here and there to make it look more like a branch for my bird.




Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful and blessed day!
