PP778 Sketch Challenge from Claire

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!
