Michael Strong Card Captain Day 4

I am on day 4 of my week of Card Captain with the Michael Strong Stamps Yahoo Group.

  I made a card with a die- that cuts out an Easter Egg image.......yep.....  I used Watercolors in Yellow and purple and let them run...once dry, I stamped and embossed the egg in White EP. Once I cut them out, I curled the edges and arranged them into the shape of a flower....... So, what kind of flower is this???  An Eggceptional one- it has no scent and does not make me sneeze....
   For the stem, I used a scrap of a Glimmer Lace technique (Technique Junkies)- and as you can see- one more egg shape for the leaf. 
   I layered the flower on a background called Chalked Emboss- I used a pigment called Pan Pastels to sponge color onto the background.  There is a great new challenge blog called Unruly PaperArts- there is also an online 'zine' with articles throughout the month....check it out!
 The sentiment is a stamp from Unity Stamps- my first time using a Unity stamp.......

Challenges:
New Challenge- Unruly Paper Arts- sponging (Pan Pastels on the BG)
Twisted Thursdays-Flowers (no roses)
