A Little Bit Shabby Chic & A Farewell

Hello my Thursday friends, it's Diane here with you again today...
this is my last post as a guest designer for Cheery Lynn Designs
and I want to thank everyone that came to visit and left me a comment here..
I really appreciate it!!
Also, I would like to mention that I had many requests for a tutorial
of how I made the fox tail lilies from last week.....
I have a tutorial on my blog if interested...
 
 
For todays project I went a bit "shabby chic" with an Easter egg...
I started with a Martha Stewart paper mache egg that can be filled with treats...
 
 
It was painted a cream color, then added a tissue paper ruffle around it
with begonia flowers made from crepe paper......
the egg is gorgeous sitting out for Easter...
 
 
I also made a card with calla lilies made from the same crepe paper...
the crepe paper is wonderful for the flowers, as it is easy to shape....
 
 
the dies used for the egg are
 
the dies used for the card are
 
Also don't forget
