For my cards, I used coordinating patterned papers and a large egg die ("Ribbon and Bow Egg" by Poppystamps). I embossed the card borders (embossing folder by Stampin' Up!) to frame the main image, and I'll add the sentiments inside. This way, these gorgeous patterned eggs can take center stage on the card fronts!
Here they are all together:
I added Wink of Stella on all the bows for some sparkle, and I sanded the dry embossed card edges since the card stock had a white core.
Hint: When you are paper-piecing an intricate die cut such as this egg, it helps to turn the die over and place the individual pieces back in the die, then tape them in place before taking it out to adhere on your card.
Here are my cards one by one:
I can't wait to see what EGG brings to mind for you! Be sure to link up your EGG card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!
I love the subtle interest added by the 'frame' being in a different dp - very cool!
