15 Minute Project ... Easter Pretties in Less Than 1/4 of an Hour ... and a "Spring" Blog Challenge Entry

Today's "15 Minute" project was created super-fast using the Cuttlebug and Nestabilties dies! This spring-themed card will be submitted to the Arty Girlz for their current blog challenge; head on over to their blog and check out all the entries!

Using brightly colored card stock, I die cut 3 ovals to create "eggs." TIP: To minimize the embossing lines, cut your card stock on the "wrong" side. With scraps of the same card stock and dies from "Olivia" alphabet set, I created the words and the little star-flowers.

I stamped my chicks on Xerox 110# card stock and quickly colored them with Copic markers ... they're baby chicks, so there's not much ground to cover here! I cut them out, trimming closely, and set them aside.

Next, I used my decorative-edge scissors to turn the ovals into cracked eggs and stuck my baby chicks inside at varying heights.

After adding a grosgrain ribbon and a matching bow, this card was "done," "done," "done!"

Thanks for sharing part of your busy day with me; have a relaxing and creative weekend!

~Hugs, Deb
