Crafty Calendar April Challenge - Egg-stra Special

Good Morning

Happy Easter everyone.  I hope you have a lovely weekend.

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month our theme is Egg-stra special (Easter egg, chick in egg or even a dinosaur egg...anything egg related!)  OPTIONAL EXTRA - More than 1 fold in card or project.

For my card I used Joanna Sheen's Cardmakers Year cd-rom.  I printed the image 5 times so I could decoupage it, and I matted the image onto core'dinations card.  For my base card I used Centura Pearl card.  I used some delightful Easter Egg ribbon across the front, with a sentiment mat created from gold linen card using a Spellbinders die.  The vines up each side were made using a Marianne die and pearlescent green paper.  The flowers are punched with a Nellie Snellen punch for the large flowers and a Papermania punch for the smaller, tiny cream pearls were added to the centres.


Here is a side view of the card to give you an idea of the folds.

I do hope you'll be able to join in with our challenge, and please do have a look at the fabulous cards my teamies have created, you won't be disappointed  There's some fabulous candy up for grabs too.


We are also having a DT call this month.  Full details can be found on the challenge blog.
