Neat & Tangled March Release - Day 1


Hi friends!  Today is the first day of March release reveals over at Neat & Tangled.  Today we're showing off a new mini set from Elena called Eggciting.  It's such a fun image.  I love this little bunny trying to move that big old egg.  

My plan for this card was to partially die cut the image so that it was die cut around the top of the image, but still attached to the bottom of the panel.  Unfortunately, I'm apparently die cut challenged, so I did the exact opposite of what I had planned....I die cut the bottom of the image and the top was attached.  Oops.  Since my initial plan fell through, I went ahead and fully die cut the image and then colored it with Copics.  

Then I cut another panel and partially cut it the right way this time.  The original image was then adhered right over top of the partially die cut one so that I got the same effect.


I added a light peachy/pink patterned paper over the bottom of the panel, and then popped the entire thing up over another panel of darker pink paper that I had added a bit of tone on tone inking to using the Radiating Star stencil.

I finished the card off with the large sentiment from the Eggciting set which was stamped on one of the banners from the Skinny Strips set.

Head over to the N&T blog to see what the rest of the team created and to enter to win this set for yourself.
