Inkspirational Challenge - Inspiration Picture

Hello all my fellow cardmakers!  It's that time again, over at Inkspirational, for another challenge!  This time we've got a cool inspiration picture for you.  Check it out...


Isn't it neat?  I love all those fabulous eggs!  I decided that I wanted to make some eggs of my own that looked like that.  Here's my card...


I cut three different sized small ovals for my eggs.  I sponged them in the following colours: Mellow Moss (SU!), Sea Glass (SSS), and Soft Suede (SU!).  Then I splattered them with watered down ink in the following colours: Walnut Stain distress ink, Gray Flannel and Tuxedo Black (Memento).  Then I took some of the watered down black and randomly painted areas with a brush.  I took a white panel and watercoloured Broken China distress ink on it then splattered some Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls mist.  Once dry, I attached my eggs. Then I took some green cardstock and cut strips and glued them around my eggs to mimic grass.  Then I stamped my sentiment (Paper Smooches) in black.  Lastly, I attached my panel to my card base with foam dots.  I just love how the eggs turned out.  So easy to create too.

I hope you'll join us in the cool challenge over at Ink.  Check out the other DT members projects as well.  They are all awesome!  We have a super cool guest designer this challenge too.  Please go visit, Bozena over at Art Card Box, and leave her some love.  :-)

I'd like to link up to the following challenges:
