My next card is for PTI's Make It Monday Challenge #8 to use ink blending techniques, Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #65 to use heat embossing (I attempted to use the emboss resist technique, but my so-called clear embossing powder still turned pink when I inked over it!) and for Papertake Weekly's Sketch Challenge #54.

And my final project for this weekend is my Easter gift to my work colleagues and friends. I made 12 of these all together. They were really fun to make, especially as I kept dropping the mini eggs as I was filling them so just had to eat those ones! I bought 3kg of mini eggs, not really knowing how many eggs would weigh that much and OMG I had trillions! And after making 12 of these boxes and making 29 little tissue paper bundles with 10 eggs in each for the children in my class I still have about 1/3 of the bag left! Oh well, more for me to eat I guess hehe!

This one is for Just Add Ink's Challenge #62 to just add a box or bag and for PTI Princess Sue P's Easter Challenge. I was waiting for my Friendship Jar Spring Fillers to arrive before making this one as I knew I wanted that cute little chick on the box! And I guess this one could also be for PTI Princess Sue R's Spring Cleaning Challenge as well as all the acetate pieces came from the PTI stamp sets too. I have a huge bag full of them as you never know when you might need a little bit!

Recipe:

Stamps: Polka Dot Basics, Friendship Jar Spring Fillers both from PTI, A Good Egg from SU

Papers: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip both from SU, Stampers Select White from PTI, Acetate sheet from PTI stamp sets




Inks: Chocolate Chip from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Oval Punches all from SU, Oval Nestabilities
