Sister Stamps Release #6 - Daba

Hi Everyone!  Here's my project for the final day of Sister Stamps Release #6 and I'm featuring Daba.  I created an egg ornament to feature this oh so cute bunny! I used to decorate eggs like this when I was a child and I've been wanting to get back into it.  I used to make them fancier and more detailed and some even had little scenes in them.  But it's been awhile so I kept this simple as I had to experiment to refresh my memory.

Here's how I did it:  I blew out a jumbo chicken egg by poking a hole on top and on the bottom.  I rinsed it out and let it dry overnight. I brushed on a couple coats of Mod Podge and let it dry - this helps to harden the egg and make it a bit less fragile.  Then I stamped Daba on some pink tissue paper with StazOn and cut it out.  The image was adhered with Mod Podge, but had to be handled gently or it would have torn.  After letting it dry, I put on another coat of Mod Podge.  To make it fancier, you could put a coat of diamond dust of clear micro beads, but I need more practice with that.  Then I added the trim, pearls, gold finding and twine. I had a hard time getting the gold finding to stay on so if you use a good glue to adhere metal, let me know. That about sums it up.  The pink tissue is brighter than I expected, but I think this bunny would look cute no matter what color it is.  Here are some close ups.
