Oh my goodness - this is absolutely GORGEOUS, Sallie!!! With all the steps to create this masterpiece, you must have spent all day on it!! I am impressed with your knowledge of the Faberge eggs and the techniques used on them - well, you wanted opulent - and you surely delivered!!

STUNNING! The work that went into this is so evident, and so worth the effort. The background die cuts work perfectly to showcase this beautiful piece!

WOW Sallie...that is one elegant egg! Your coloring of it is superb and the delicate framing of it is beautiful! Amazing card and fabulous for the "coloring book" challenge.

You have such an eye for detail, Sallie! How amazing that you would re-create Faberge's lovely egg! (Thanks for sharing the original) Your stickle diamonds are just Beautiful as is the framing and sponging around the edges! What an intricate creation; so delicate and dainty~

WOW! Your roses on this are painted so beautifully I thought they were dimensional! I can't believe the steps you took to achieve this! What an incredible work of art. Love the ornate die cuts you used to frame this beautiful work!

Wow, the dies and the egg are incredible!! I am flabbergasted! This inspires me to go look for something (or maybe use one I already have! Heehee!) Love the muted tones as well, a real work of art!
