Easter Egg Blessings

 I'm in full Easter card mode now that it's April.    I made a card similar to this a month or so ago, but used darker colors and no framing and this time I layered the stems over an egg!

I die cut a panel of watercolor paper with the beautiful Quilted Backdrop die from Lawn Fawn and then cut it with the largest Nestability egg.  I die cut the stems out of Pale Rose and Soft Stone card stock using Alexandra Renke's Magnolium die.  
The looped bow is Fit to be Tied from The Greetery.  
I glued the stem pieces together and layered them over the egg with foam dots.  I die cut the scalloped frame using Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames from MFT and adhered the frame and the egg to the white card base.  
The stamped sentiment is from Mini Strips: Easter  stamped on a sentiment strip die - both from Taylored Expressions.

I really love this Pale Rose color with the Soft Stone!

I'm linking my card to:
