That's a lot of lovely colors for today's Color Challenge! I used all except the brown sugar. I have quite a stash of paper I hand marbled a long time ago & since every piece is one of a kind, I made color copies to use & the background is one of those.
In order to die cut the ducks, I had to do a little out of the box technique. The top part was a little trickier...when I die cut the Daisy Garden die, I lined up the die to determine where to cut the pierced rectangle out of the remainder. I did that because I wanted the marbled paper to show through the Daisy Garden die and I didn't want to have to hand cut it. I did the same w/ the turquoise layer. Worked perfectly! I paper pieced the little Easter eggs on the image out of more of the marbled paper.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, a look at the marbled paper before I cut it & the Copics I used are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Another incredible card, Julie. Your marbled bg paper is beautiul. How cleaver to cut the eggs from it. The die cut layers that fit together so well look fantastic.
