Excellent Eggs (for CCMC 808)

We’re starting March off with a color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. This is a pastel palette that makes me think of Easter eggs, so I went with Excellent Eggs for our challenge today. Here’s the color board ~

And here’s my card ~

These three colors are quite prominent in Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper, so I chose three of the prints and started building Easter eggs!

Here are the details ~

• Flirty Flamingo Cardstock base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, folded at 4-1/4″
• Flirty Flamingo Cardstock layer, 5-3/8″x 4-1/8″, textured with Cane Weave Embossing Folder
  • Adhere this layer to the card base with Dimensionals.
• Three eggs, cut from Excellent Eggs Dies
  • The largest is a Balmy Blue print from Lighter Than Air DSP.
  • The middle one is a Flirty Flamingo print from the same DSP.
  • The smallest one is a Lemon Lolly print from the same DSP with a white die-cut bunny glued to the middle.
  • To the large blue egg, I cut three zigzig strips using the Dies and the same DSP as the other two eggs – two from Flirty Flamingo and one from Lemon Lolly.
• The sentiment, “Happy Easter” is heat embossed with white embossing powder onto Flirty Flamingo.
  • I fussy cut around the words, then glued it to a small scrap of Basic White and fussy cut that as well.
• Three Lemon Lolly Dots from the Rainbow Dots pack and a bow of Flirty Flamingo Baker’s Twine finish it off.
