These lovely Embellished Easter eggs will last a lifetime (as long as you don't break it!!!)
HAPPY EASTER TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
I can't seem to make this image any larger. You can right click to save to your computer if you'd like. The instructions under the last photo read, "Put your mouth to the small hole to create a seal, and blow the insides [of the egg] out through the larger hole, then EMBELLISH!!!
These eggs can be painted, inked, stained or dyed. You can use rubons, bling or a whole host of other scrappy goodies on your egg. We would love to see what you come up with, please share with us on our blog, facebook, or forums!
Happy Saturday to you all! I 'd like to share a tutorial on how to create a faux patina finish on your chipboard using Distress Stains and other media. Here's a picture that I took of some pieces I did, but really, a picture cannot capture the exact look!
So, sit back for a few minutes, watch THE VIDEO, and see how you can get this look for YOUR chipboard!

Made by our members who participate in the Round Robin for Cards.
We have just started this month's RR and oh boy......
first up for team 1 is Manda
for team 2, LindaSS
for team 3, Jennie A
for team 4, Patty
for team 5, Gail

Aren't these Beautiful?!!!
The twists they were given to work with were:
#1. Create a, Peek -a - BOO/ Slide Out, element on your card.
#2. Use some sort of frame. (handcut - diecut - crafter's clay - resin - stamped)
#3. Everyone loved Miranda's Metal foil tape tutorial for the UDC, so I thought it would be nice to use that technique.
