Shiny Easter Egg

Hello there and let me start off with a warm welcome to a new follower, Kim H.  Thanks for your blogger help (we connected via good blogger buddy Darnell - gosh, I think Everybody in Blogland knows our Darnell! What a resource this lady is - besides being crafty & humorous too). I have to report, sometimes with a little finagling, it seems I can join a blog, but I can't get my profile picture to change. Been doing a lot of research, reading in FAQ's, forums, and see that lots of others are having the same blogger issue as I posted about. So thanks to all of you who sent me suggestions and advice. I spent time trying each one; wish I could say definitively that something I've tried has worked, but the best I can report is that it seems to work - SOMEtime. Not always. Oh yes, I should say "April Fool's Day" - 'cause it is today, but it seems appropriate for Mr. Blogger & his troubles

too.

OK..enough on the aggravating stuff. Here's my card for today.

- image is The Artful Stamper Clingmount. Stamped out very nicely using Memento Tuxedo black.
Colored with various copics, and it really was not difficult to stay 'within the lines' as I colored. A bit more concentration required to get the shading, and there's not a lot of intense shading. Mainly I just wanted a bright look to this egg. When finished, applied a layer of SU Crystal Effects (like Glossy Accents if you aren't familiar with the SU product. Found that the Effects spread better for me than the G/A). Once the first coat was spread, set this carefully aside in a place where I wouldn't forget and bump against it. It dried overnight, then the image was handcut. No egg shaped die that fit this size well. Edged the white bits that still showed on the outer edge with a sponge dauber and Black ink.

- Lavendar Bazzill texture cardstock embossed with a Marianne EF - no name; then bottom edge of this piece was shaped with a SU accent die. The white cardbase had a piece of green waste paper adhered to the bottom portion. Then once the lavender top was shaped & glued down, none of the white base was visible. { I need to clarify this waste tissue type paper comes from airbrushing AND other product overspray. Not just airbrush spraying. When the paper covering the table gets quite saturated, it's removed & replaced with a new underlying layer}
.
- Memory Box Charlotte Border die cut both sides of a piece of blue overspray paper for the border and the Cheery Lyn sentiment die.

That's it. One more for the Bunny basket. Have a happy afternoon, come visit again when you have time. This week should be fine porch swing weather around here. Hugs.
