These are tooo fabulous!!! I may need to try a version of this for Easter- what a cool project for the kids! Did you paint or ink the eggs underneath before adhering the flowers? Could you type up a few simple directions for the masses who I know will ask?
Thanks and GREAT WORK!

Wow yours is so much prettier than I seen in the SU book! I didn't think they looked so good in the magazine but yours is really nice. I might try making an egg or two now. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you....I have done quite a number and have a
few short cutsl.. First, I lightly, put tacky glue on the
egg, then I lightly sponged a square piece of tissue with
cordinating ink, used a wheel with a petite design
and ran it over the tissue. Next I folded one end of
the tissue over the top of the egg and then gathered
the remaining tissue and patted it around the egg. I
trimmed off the excess. Next punch out the daisies,
add dash of two-way glue, dip in dazzling diamonds. Add
a small bead to a pin, stick into the middle of the daisy
and adhere to the tissue covered egg. I also added tacky
glue to the end of the pin to make it secured. Continue until
the egg is well-covered but not too tightly as it looks cute
to see parts of the stamped tissue. Enjoy! Cathy

DARLING! Thanks a million for the directions. Wasn't sure if I wanted to do this when I first saw it in SS, but you've made them seem pretty easy. And this basket turned out just gorgeous! TFS
