The One Layer Wednesday Challenge this week was to put an egg or eggs on a one layer card. A One layer card is defined as one layer of cardstock folded in half...no other layers.
I had seen this card by snowmanqueen on SCS and liked the idea of putting the eggs in the grass.
I chose to use bright colors for the eggs, then had trouble deciding what color to do the sentiment. Taken with Teal (now retired) popped into my mind right away. I tried about 5 other colors and then listened to my better judgement and got out the Taken with Teal.
I didn't plan on the butterfly, but somehow there was a smudge above the sentiment. The butterfly was already punched and I really didn't want to start over. Actually, I thought the butterfly was a fun touch and still within the limited embellishments stipulation.
