I water colored a panel of white with strokes of Bronze paint to make it look more like an egg, and die cut a Nestability egg out of it. I cut the top off the die cut egg using the bottom edge of the egg die.
I die cut and water colored Snow Drops and stems and adhered them to the back of the egg with tape. I embossed the background with the Tufted EF from SU and then stenciled over it with Pebbles stencil from Lavinia using Antique Linen Distress ink and a blending brush - just stenciling over the center of the panel.
I adhered the egg and snowdrops to the panel with thick foam dots, curving the outside edges of the egg down. I added Glossy White Nuvo Crystal drops over the snow drop blossoms to add a little dimension.
