A crackin’ Easter Project
Hello there!
It’s Easter weekend, and here’s a cute idea you might enjoy trying.
I used our Easter chicks and some cracking good eggs:
Oh. An Espresso Adirondack and a few Promarkers, too.
It’s as easy as boiling a soft egg, once you know how!
Let’s take a look….
Stamp the bottom half of the cracked egg in Espresso.
Use the Cracked Egg mask to cover up
and stamp the Blossom egg through the aperture.
like so…
We are going to do the same for the top half of the cracked egg, but we are going to cut it out.
So anywhere on a piece of Theuva card is good.
Colour in with Promarkers.
Both halves.
Mask off the lower half and stamp a chick into the egg.
Coming together here..
Egcellent!
Now for the Message.
Bend it into a curve on the mount….
Let’s anchor the egg, so that it isn’t just floating.
Mask the egg off,
and add a little ledge with Espresso and a make up sponge.
Cute..
Speaking of floating eggs,
I remember a while ago, the fridge was pretty empty except for a few eggs, so I thought I’d rustle up some egg mayonnaise.
“Not sure how long these eggs have been in here,”
says I.
“Well, if an egg floats, it’s no good.”
says Dave.
I put all 6 eggs in the pan of water and they all bobbed to the surface. All 6. No hesitation. They shot to the top.
“Fancy beans on toast?”
says I…
Anyway, yolks aside, where was I?
Ah yes. Trying to stop the egg from tipping over.
Colour in the little chicksicle..
Add the lid with a brad.
Dust a little Butterscotch Yellow around the edge of the card
with one of our fabulous Clarity Brushes.
All done.
We hope you are having a cracking good Easter weekend.

Hi Barb,
Really love this card – that chick is just so cute! Like Laurence, I wasn't sure about buying these stamps originally, but I might just have to and I too love the other egg that has an Art Deco / Rennie Macintosh feel( think that's how his name is spelt). Thanks for the brilliant offer for the stamps too. Love Alison xxx
Morning everyone. I love the card today, especially the way the top moves to reveal a little chick inside. I wouldn't like that to happen with an egg from the fridge though! Have a happy day. xx
