The How: I made two of these cards; 1 with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds on the eggs to give them dimension (card in the back of photo), and 1 with only a spritz of glimmer mist for a little shine (card in the front).
I totally forgot one of the "N"s in "Beginnings" but wanted to highlight that in the photo because we all make mistakes. There are times I leave the mistake as is, and there are times when I'll throw the card out and start all over again. Most of the time when I'm using my handwriting on a card, I'll do the script first so I don't have to do the stamping all over again if I mess up (in this case it's not a problem since it's such easy stamping).
In any event, I decided to keep the mistake for myself...and made the card over again with the correct spelling (shown behind the first card in the image). The card with the correct spelling will be given to my friend Matt who will be working on a brand new start-up project soon! I added an envelope at the last minute too!
There are so many entrepreneurs out there inventing and doing new things! ('Slack' is one of my favorite new guys on the block - at one point I thought Microsoft was going to buy it!) I wish I had the guts to do a start-up (LOL)!
Hope you'll join us on this week's Inspiration Challenge....I'm sure it will be loads of fun!
Enjoy!
Audrie

What great neutrals on that very rich card stock!! Your writing is gorgeous, and I wouldn't have even noticed the spelling error. I use to think I was such a good speller.
Beautiful! I love the natural look of your card! Also that is great that you left the mistake in (and I probably wouldn't have noticed) because so many papercrafters right now, I think, feel a pressure to only post perfect cards when handmade is enough .

Lovely CAS card, Audrie! And I cannot tell you how many times I have been so happy with a card and then something happens with the sentiment - so I can relate!! Your handwritten sentiment is divine though!!
