Easter card with Nature Walk

By
Morning all - it's Monday again so that means it's time for a new challenge over at Make My Monday. This week the challenge is to make a New Life card. It has to be spring themed too as that's this month's theme.
So New Life can include such things as Easter, Babies, Animals or even a New Home.
I chose to do an Easter card - the egg stamp in Nature Walk is excellent for this - take a look


This is a twisted easel card and I have repeat stamped the eggs and then coloured them in using pencils in pastel shades. (Don't you think they look a bit like choccie mini eggs?) The bird from Nature Walk fits in perfectly as does my lovely Young Vermillion. To prop up the card I have added a nest and eggs bought locally at a shop in town.
Punched flowers and pearls add a finishing touch (and also hide a couple of smudges!!!).
Thanks for looking - please pop over to the blog and take a look at what my fellow DT ladies have done too - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I love this Jacqueline! Those eggs make a fantastic background (and yes, they do look a bit like the chocolate variety!) The birds work brilliantly together too! Hope you had a good weekend. Vicky x

    What a brilliant background - and I agree with you and Vicky, they do look like mini eggs... can't wait for Lent to be over for some chocolate scoffing time! I really like the little nest as a stopper.

    LOVE the way you've colored in your eggs--and made them into DSP!!! :) I also just adore the bright pink and blue together! :)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
