Now it looks finished!

Here's my finished egg all dolled up and ready for Easter!! This egg is approximately the size of a very large grapefruit (just in the shape of an egg!) I used a lot of different elements from seam binding, ribbon, tulle, clay flowers, tiny pearl strands and pearl stamens from a vintage hat and sweet white feathers!

To finish it off, a wonderful scalloped chipboard from Gail's Shabby Cottage Studio Store adorned with an image from a vintage Easter postcard. And you can't really see this in my photos but I gave the tag a dusting of spray glue and sprinkled on Martha's ultra fine white glitter!! This little baby was going to be in my Etsy store but I was just contacted by a sweet customer telling me she wanted to buy it!!

I'd better go get started on another one! I hope you're having a wonderful day ~
