My One and Only Easter Decoration...

Do you remember the panoramic sugar Easter eggs?

I do!

I was absolutely fascinated by them!

Looking into that tiny hole

and seeing that sweet (literally!) Easter scene...

what memories!

Well,

I wanted to color earlier---so I pulled out my Copics

and a retired CTMH stamp set

some embossing powder and went to it

since I seemed to have stopped sneezing for at least a little while

and had slept all I could...

and after I colored...

I cut.

And then I got a brilliant idea--

well, maybe...

remember too the "tunnel" cards in the scrapbooking realm

again, some years back--

(yeah, I am old-and getting older!)

anyway-

I wanted to do that with the images I had just colored.

I don't have the oval Spellbinders dies

but I do have a Cricut---

and the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge

so I cut some ovals

and then some oval layers

and got out lots and lots of pop dots...

and here's what I came up with...

I am linking to

Heart2Heart Challenges

which can be found here...

since this can be used as a decoration

but also serves as an Easter card for someone special

since it's based on the easel card format

with plenty of room for a message on the back!

Who said a card has to be the traditional

fold on one side?!

Now that I've done one--one or two more

wouldn't be so bad

Bunnies and all are great

but I also wanted to keep the focus

on the real reason for the Easter season...

whatcha think?

Does the "for you" bring your focus

to the cross?

That was my intent...

and yes, the cross and Happy Easter

are contraband stamps

(or would be considered so by some!)

I LOVE ALL STAMPS EQUALLY

(well-let's say brands---I do prefer clear to red rubber...

but hey-if I REALLY like it...and God knows

I have a lot of all kinds-all brands!

Anyway-

I need to eat and take more medicine.

And try and sleep again.

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping.

Blessings,
