For the sketch challenge and WT was use image of egg(s).
I used the egg image (which has 3 eggs) from Take Care, stamping in archival because I wanted to use Stickles. I cut them out individually after stamping, glued them down with Tombow multi and stickled them. I started with mixed media paper to do the ivory embossing and then sponged first with broken china, then went over it with stormy sky, then diecut. By the time I got everything done, I realized I had to go to a 5x7 size card. tfl

Lovely card to combine the two challenges, Shirl. The pale blue and white is such a lovely combination and I like the nest with the three glittred eggs.

This card has charming vintage feel to it, with soft design background paper. You were smart to upsize to a 5x7, it gives your delightful design room to breathe. The images you chose to occupy the circles are a perfect compliment to the feel of the card. Neat take on both challenges. Nicely done!

Shirl, this is such a gorgeous Easter card. I adore these colors! The toile-like bg is stunning and sets the perfect stage for your 3 image panels. Your white heat embossing is perfect and looks so crisp and nice on these panels. But...what I adore, are those 3 little sparkly eggs in this wonderful nest. My, what patience you have Shirl. This is just fantastic! ~Karen.
