Simon Says Stamp challenge - Easter/Spring

Woohoo!! It is time for another challenge at Simon Says Stamp!! This week we have a challenge of Easter or spring with glimmer and glitter!! I loved this challenge and I'm sure you will too. As you can see I have gone with the Easter theme and decorated an egg!! It started out life as a cardboard egg from Panduro Hobby and now it is a gorgeous feminine egg that I for one would love to receive full of chocolate! I have painted it with Tim Holtz crackle paint in picket fence and when that was dry I added pearl Glimmer mist and a touch of light distressing with vintage photo distress ink. I glued a ruffle of lace around the edge of each half which I also distressed with vintage photo. I have added stickles along the edge of the lace for some delicate sparkle!

I stamped two butterflies from the Hero Arts Antique Engravings stamp set and coloured them with copics before spraying with glimmer mist. The stamped antennae have been replaced with black cotton which makes them look so much more life like!

I have added a trail of gems running from the flowers to the small butterfly to indicate where it has fluttered from!

I've created a little flower spray with some flowers from my stash, all sprayed with glimmer mist. The leaves have been punched with a Woodware punch.

Once the two halves were nestled together I tied an ivory satin ribbon tied in a bow.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking! I hope you can pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the DT's amazing creations and I look forward to seeing what your create for us this week! x
