Easter Eggs & Bluebonnets!

Easter eggs & bluebonnets?  Sounds like spring in Texas to me!  And that was my idea for today's Texas Tues-Step card.  Now, getting the idea out of my head and onto my card, was not as easy as it should have been.  I had trouble making the card all come together.  In fact, at one point, I thought about changing and making a tag instead of a card, but went back to a card when I realized my main panel was wider than a tag would be.  I just kept playing with ideas until I found one I liked.  Let's get to it and then you can see if you like it too!  Enjoy!



Click on the card above to give you a closer look.  The easter eggs are hard to find.  Wait, maybe that makes it an easter egg hunt!  I own other easter egg stamps.  Maybe I should have used some egg images that would show up more.  What do you think?  Do you like how this card came out?

Recipe:

Paper - Plaid DP by Best Creation, Inc. Bunny Love line, Cardstock White, Light Blue, Lime Green
Stamps - Bluebonnet by The Stamp in the Hand, Eggs are peg stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry, Sentiment by Darcie's
Ink - Tombow Markers
Tools - Grass Die by My Favorite Things, Classic Scalloped Oval, Classic Oval Nestibilities
Other - Grosgrain Ribbon, Rhinestones by Kaiser

Be sure to check out the other Texas Tues-Step members cards and leave them some comments.  You can find the list on the right side of my blog.  I know for sure that Danielle, Betty and Mark are participating this week. 

I am almost done with my Easter cards and am working on getting them finished, addressed and in the mail.  The next 3 days, I will be back here to show you those Easter cards.  And then Saturday, I have one more for the sketch challenge share. 

Happy Stamping!

Oooh. I love your card and I think the brain to card transfer must have worked stupendously as the card is perfect. I like how the one bluebonnet and eggs are dimensionlized. Great sentiment too.
