Easter Egg Punch Art Card - DSC#221

Oh stampers.... I really have a great Easter Card for you today for this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#221 Home Sweet Home Challenge!  Like last weeks card, this card also involves working with some Punch Art. Some of these punches are retired, sorry....but I needed to use them to create the shapes needed to construct the chicks. I never purchased the Stampin Up Egg Cartons, so I had to come up with an original idea that still held with the theme of the challenge.



This week's card was a challenge for me not because of the challenge photo of an egg carton, but trying to hand draw an egg shape to cut out for the card.  I guess I could have just used a large oval framelit for the egg, but I wanted a REAL shaped egg look.  (My OCD kicking in again).  The egg shells were made from a trimmed down Extra-Large Oval Punchthe chicks were punched out using the Builder Bird Punch with bottom of body cut off.


The white lacy look on top of the Whisper White CS was from the Adorning Accents Dies and I used the 1/16 Inch Handheld Circle Punch to punch a hole in the middle of each lace part.  I used the flower from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to create the tiny little flower and put a tiny pearl in the center of the flower.  


As you can see in the photos above and below, I used an eyelet so the front and back of the card sections would swing open.  Both the envelope and the envelope liner were made with the Envelope Punch Board. 


The finishing touch was to add the little bow with the beautiful

I would love to hear what you think....
