Magnolia Forever and Anything but a card Easter Style!

Welcome to Magnolia Forever Challenge reminder for,  " Anything but a card with an Easter option"

Please join us and enter your card/project here.

Today i would like to share my card/project.  I have used a paper mache egg.  My daughter kindly cut out the oval for me so that i could decorate the egg inside and out.  Isn't Tilda sweet sitting on this carrot?

I totally covered the egg with dotted tissue paper and Mod Podge. (you can see it).  I then added more Mod Podge as "glue" and added the strips of tissue paper...gathering as i laid the strip down.  I added silver stickles to the edges.  Using more Mod Podge i added the crocheted trim.  The inside is painted cream and while it was still wet i poured in some sparkly glitter.  I tapped out the excess, let it dry throughly and then hot glued the nest/with egg and the tiny peeps.  Last i hot glued the carrot on to the front and hot glued Tilda to the side.


Copics used:
skin- YR20, 21, 24
hair- YR24, Y21, 11
dress- BG10, 11, 13
flower- RV25, 23, 21
