detail trim.
2. Cut egg into the two sections (as above) with a pinking shears.
3. Layer the white and pink of the "in-set" section.
4. Layer the pink and the decorative panels onto the main
card. Then layer the "in-set" section onto the main card.
5. Complete the inside of the card.
6. Using the 1/8 inch pop dots, attach the velvet egg portions to
the main card.
7. Using the 1/16 inch pop dots, attach the bottom row of foiled
eggs to the main card.
8. Then, using glue or double stick tape (I needed both), glue or
tape the remaining foiled eggs behind the pop dotted eggs. Double
stick tape does not stick to the embossing powder on the eggs, so some
glue (dries clear adhesive) needed to be used.
9. Place your Happy Easter layered section onto the main card.
10. Using dries clear adhesive, glue on the buttons and
"frosting" sections. The color of the button egg will
vary. Allow to dry.
***The foiled eggs were made with our Sizzix machine that we bought ourselves for Christmas. We cut them out of colored mirrored cardstock then embossed them with Mirage embossing powder. We are thrilled with the results.***
Have fun and Happy Easter!!!
