Happy Sunday, peeps! Hope your weekend is going well so far! Claire is our Paper Players hostess with a wonderful sketch--I just love banners! Here we go:
I had an idea in my head to make a little "diorama" Easter egg--remember them? You peeked in a hole in the side of the egg and you'd see a little scene! Mine didn't quite turn out the way I imagined, but it was still a fun card to create. Here we go:
I recently got some pretty papers from Craft Corsortium called Bloom and Wild; they have florals on one side and these pretty watercolors on the other. I diecut two eggs, cutting an opening in one, then adding a little diecut bunny:
If I were to do this again, I probably wouldn't add the pearls and the little punched flowers around the edge--they were supposed to represent the "icing" around the opening! I think it's a little busy! I created the banner with the opposite side of the papers and added an Easter sentiment from Our Daily Bread, stamped in Strawberry Slush. The horizontal piece has a diecut scalloped border, and it all went on a panel embossed with the Lovely Stripes embossing folder. The little bow on the bottom of the egg is from the Mini Treat Bag dies.
This sketch is really versatile and I hope you'll play with us! Check out what the other designers at the Paper Players did with it! Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

LeAnne, I think this card is so pretty! I love the embossed background and the "diorama" egg is beautiful! I do remember these! I love that gorgeous floral DSP and your little bunny is so sweet. I think the pearls and flowers are so delicate and feminine. Thank you for making my sketch shine! Have a great week, My Friend!
I like your little diorama egg! Pretty paper and I also like the flowers and the pearls. One of the flowers looks like bunny's tail. Not sure that was planned but it works!
Not too busy in my book, LeAnne! Your bunny and the diorama egg are adorable and so pretty!
This is such a charming Easter card, LeAnne! Love the bunny!
Absolutely adorable! Can a diorama egg ever be too busy? This card is perfect, LeAnne. I hadn't thought about diorama eggs for decades. Thank you so much for the trip down Memory Lane! Have a wonderful week!
Oh so pretty, LeAnne! I don't think the pearls are too much at all, reminds me of a Fabergé egg and those are definitely extra over the top. Your little die cut bunny is so sweet and I love the soft pastel colors. Lovely take on the sketch!
I remember being fascinated with one of those eggs when I was a child. I think the flowers and pearls that look like the actual opening of these eggs! Pretty paper and sweet bunny too!
This absolutely could not be sweeter! The soft and delicious colours, the framed egg, the swoosh at the end of the horizontal, the soft striped background - just wonderful and put together with style. :-)
I love all the little details on your pretty Easter egg LeAnne; my mum used to have a very fancy Faberge-style egg that this reminds me of! The soft colours and textured background make for a pretty card.
LeAnne, what a clever idea to create a diorama! It might seem busy but I think it's quite pretty. Love that embossed background too. Such a lovely Easter card!
LeAnne, I love this. I so remember those eggs, they seemed magical when I was a child and I love that you have tried to replicate that feel. There really is a lot of depth to your scene and I love the addition of the pearls and florals on the frame. That embossed background is fabulous, too. I can see why you had fun creating it!
