More Easter Eggs

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I used some old calendar pages for some Easter eggs.

Sometimes it's hard to find a good way to cut the design, but I discovered
that these flowers worked perfectly for the largest egg in my set.


I sponged some ink around the edges and cut a smaller egg and a bunny along
with some grass.


For this egg, I brushed the egg with what was leftover on the brush and added
a bow and Easter sentiment offset with white and pink cardstock.

Challenges:
Inkspirational #339 - Mood Board-Decorated Egg

Your 'hand painted' eggs are so pretty, Bonnie. I stopped sending to the homebound in Michigan so I don't make Easter cards anymore. I miss making them.

Bonnie... nothing better than a cherry blossom egg! Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your wonderful Easter card with Just Us Girls.

I love both of your cards, Bonnie, but card #2 stole my heart today! I just love those teensy Cherry Blossoms!

Two beautiful cards, Bonnie! I have to agree with, Michele, those wee cherry blossoms are delightful. So happy you shared them with us at Just Us Girls!

Carol said...

I could not pick a favorite card here....these eggs are amazing! Thanks for playing in our moodboard challenge at JUGS!

TK said...

These are equally pretty, Bonnie. I love that you were able to re-purpose your calendars and make something pretty with them again!

Pat said...

Fabulous Easter cards Bonnie and I love the two eggs pretty and flowery, and the added grass and a bit of blue sky with the added leaves surrounding them and of course a cute bunny works really well on the first, and then the coral colour of the cherry blossom and background layer on the wonderful bow and added sentiment with the softly added pink and gold spattering on the egg and that textural dry embossing on the background make this so so pretty Bonnie...this would be my favourite. x

Leslie Miller said...

Oh! Those delicate cherry blossoms are gorgeous on an Easter egg! Love the bunny, the tall grass, the large leaves behind. The second card is super pretty with the fabulous bow and the embossed background. My heart belongs with the first card, probably because of the bunny, but I also love the grass border and the second egg... it's such a nice arrangement!

JoAnn said...

Both cards are so pretty with those dainty cherry blossoms. Love how you added the smaller egg, bunny & grass on the first card, but I love the pretty egg with that lovely bow on the second card. Have a great weekend and a Blessed and Happy Easter my friend.

My dear Bonnie!
Both cards are wonderful, wonderfully designed. My heart belongs to the second card, it's a real work of art, every detail is thought out and perfectly executed.
May the upcoming Easter be a special time for you and your family, marked by closeness to the Risen Christ. My gratitude to you, my sweet friend.
xx

Both of your floral egg cards are so pretty Bonnie!! What a great way to use those calendar pages!! The cherry blossoms just couldn't be any more beautiful on the eggs and I'm especially loving card #2...STUNNING!! Hugs. :0)

Christine Alexander said...

Beautiful floral eggs, such a pretty scene with the bunny and butterfly, but the one that caught my eye was seeing the flowers as the main focus ♥

Susan said...

Two beautiful Easter cards! I love the use of that floral stamp on the large egg! Such a cute bunny on the first card!
