Beverly's (beestamper) Double Dog Dare challenge last month (I'm just a little behind!!! Her challenge is Post #59 in the Double Dog Dare Challenge forum) was to make a non-challenge card......a card that isn't for any challenge whatsoever. The twist is that you have to actually mail it to someone...someone who isn't expecting a card, and you must send it as anonymous.
This was the perfect opportunity to use one of the new stamps I bought at CHA in California. This Easter image called Branch with Eggs is from American Art Stamp.
Close to Cocoa, So Saffron, and Pale Plum markers were used to color the stamp prior to stamping on the white cs. The eggs were stamped again with Memento Tuxedo Balck on a scrap piece of white cs, colored with copics, cutout, and attached with dimensionals. The butterflies were punched out of the Nook and Pantry dp and Taylor's Tiny Twinkles, Candy Dots, PTI ribbon, and the scalloped border finish it off. TFL!!
