Easter Egg

.

This is an Easter card that I'm giving Rita when she picks up her framed piece. I always try to throw a little something extra in each order. This is also the prototype for something I've had in mind for a while. I'm very happy with the middle part and I want to add some stitching too.

I'm a whiz with scissors but cutting circular shapes is the most difficult thing to do perfectly. I've been looking for a big enough punch or die, with no luck. I went to Michael's the other day and decided I wasn't leaving until I found something suitable. (Oh no! Please, sir, don't make me live at Michael's! Whatever shall I do??) Unfortunately or fortunately, however you choose to look at it, I found these die cut foam shapes as soon as I hit the Easter section. They are a skosh too big to fit on a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card so I'll have to make the card a bit bigger. That works out okay because I have envelopes the next size up to use.
