You're Egg-stra Special

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt embossing folder.  I cut it on the diagonal and added a piece of pale pink card to the bottom.  I cut a thin strip of white card and glued it across the join area.  I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Tulip Egg out of pale pink and attached it to the top of the card with mounting foam.  Next I cut the Tulip egg out of white card and added it to a white backing base piece.  Next I cut the egg die several more times out of custard, lilac, arctic blue, soft pink and green card and used the pieces to paper piece them back into the egg.  I glittered a piece of white card and cut it and used that as the background within the egg.  For the lower part of the card, I cut the You're Egg-stra Special sentiment in white and glued it to the bottom.  I added a potted flower from the Chunky Blossoms die set and several small Easter eggs from the Easter Essentials die set on the other side as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

It takes courage to cut into a card diagonally and try and match with another colour. Great idea to put a strip over it and add another layer or any mishap. WakeyL
