Eggtastic!

So here are my newest Easter postcards!

The eggs were made from layering scraps of coloured and metallic papers. I cut out the egg shape, gessoed them, and then added the black stamping. I then antiqued the edges to create some dimension to the eggs using sepia and black ink.

I made the backgrounds using the same technique as in the spring rabbits, watercolour pencil with crayon and fluid acrylics on top.

Again, i sewed the egg onto the background and then added some card to the back and sewed that as well.

Then i gel mediumed everything to make it post-safe!

On a side note, I sent the first batch of postcards off to people yesterday...So if you know me you might just be getting one in the mail soon!
