OLW 46 Eggs
Posted: March 28, 2011 Filed under: Ageless Adornment, CAS 19 Comments
When I saw that Susan had picked eggs as the feature element for her One Layer Wednesday challenge this week, I knew I would have to think a little outside the box because I don’t own any egg stamps. I settled on cutting an oval mask so I could sponge or colour my eggs. My first thought was to cover them in designs which would make them look a bit like Ukrainian easter eggs but in the end I went for the natural look. I know eggs are not really oval shaped, but I decided it’s close enough. I sponged the eggs and added the flecks with a marker.
Supplies:
Stamps: Ageless Adornment
Inks: Caramel, Close to Cocoa, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, Tempting Turquoise, Going Gray, Chocolate Chip.
Cardstock: Flourishes classic white

This is beautiful! What a lovely, different Easter card, really creative. Great job sponging, too!
WOW! These are gorgeous…and that sentiment couldn’t be more perfect! Heather, you have an awesomely creative mind!
Your sponging is amazing! Very natural looking. If you hadn’t told us how you did it, I’d think you printed a photo of eggs and just stamped the sentiment.
Beautifully done!
Your eggs are fabulous, as is your color palette. So inspiring!
What a fabulous card, Heather! I love your creativity!! Beautifully done!
great card,really eggy and really outside any box, and bets of all beautiful too.
Heather, This is just gorgeous!
Well, I love them and don’t the most amazing things arrive creatively when you have to think outside the box? I think so.
I love your interpretation.
WOW! Awesome job!!
These are wonderfully realistic eggs!! I think the sentiment is fab! Great job.
I love masks and sponging and you’ve done a fantastic job. It follows then that I love your card.
Thanks for sharing.
cheers,

So realistic and I think the shape is perfect especially for wild birds eggs which these look like. The sponged shading is brilliant. A great Easter card X
Hi there, love how you’ve made your eggs and the colours are beautiful, very impressed! The sentiment is pretty special too:0) xxx
This is awesome, Heather! Those eggs look fantastic.
Love it… and great outside the box thinking. I had considered masking off an oval, too, but in the end was just too lazy, I suppose. Even if I had tried it, I don’t think my eggs would’ve come anywhere close to the beauty of yours. Great job! (Love the speckles on them… they do look so natural.)
A wonderful and beautiful car you have made. I love the black blossom very much.

You could almost crack these, they look so real! Love the way you stamped the quote over the last egg.
As always your artistic creativity shines! This card is so elegant and beautiful… stunning. And that sentiment is so thoughtful with the eggs. LOVE this card.
