Today I'm participating in the Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop. Here is the inspiration photo.
Happily, I received my order from the February release just in time and had the perfect stamps to create with!
I used Egg Stripes along with the Egg Die, cutting out a circle in the egg to make it look like one of those sugar eggs where you peek in and see a scene inside.
Every Easter my sister and I would find one of these wonderful eggs in our Easter Baskets - we would just lap the outside of the eggs to get the sweetness - not wanting to destroy the cute scenes inside!
(the thought of eating that solid sugar egg now makes my teeth ache!)
I put a piece of clear cardstock (acetate) over the inside of the opening on the egg, adhered several rows of die cut green tissue grass onto the acetate with Scor Tape. I stamped the bunny and eggs from A Bit More: Bunny Blessings onto the die cut circle I had left over from cutting it out of the egg figuring out where to stamp so it was just sitting in the grass (not covered by it!). I die cut a scalloped circle and layered it over the opening on the egg. I sponged all the edges with Ranger Distress Tea Die. I adhered the stamped circle to the panel and the egg over the image with foam dots.
Now I'm off to see how this wonderful spring image inspired everyone else!

Yay Julia! Congrats on the win!
ReplyDeleteI love this - it reminds me of cardboard Easter eggs we used to get in England when I was a child. They'd be painted much like your card and would come apart in the middle and were filled with round chocolate pieces that were called "chocolate buttons".
ReplyDeleteWow, this brings back memories of a peek-a-boo egg when I was a child! I thought it was so special! This one is too!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely darling, Julia! I love the folk art look to it with the soft sponging, and the sweet little bunny! Having the scene inside the egg is genius and oh so sweeeeet!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness--this is absolutely perfect! Darling Easter card!
ReplyDeleteJulia, this is the cutest Easter card I’ve ever seen, and so deserving of a PTI win! I had to read every word of your post to see exactly how you did this. Tissue paper grass looks perfect. Love that sweet bunny inside your egg scene!
