This is one of the most beautiful Easter cards I have ever seen. I love your watercolor snowdrops, they are so delicate and their green is so hopeful. I also love those golden eggs, the unfinished ones ... it looks really amazing. If I can ask, what are the dies for these golden eggs?
hugs,

What a wonderful way to highlight each snowdrop and to do the "egg" challenge - so innovative! I love your card!

TK said...

What a beautiful and fun design! So sweet that the "egg" actually holds the beautiful flowers. Terrific card, Mac!

Julia Aston said...

A beautiful card for the challenge Mac! Your snow drops are so pretty inside your gold rimmed eggs! Lovely watercoloring! xx

Mac, if there were any Spring flowers at all in my garden, it would have to be snowdrops! They wouldn't mind all of this snow one bit!
I love this set and how you've given each little bloom the spotlight - beautifully water colored, my friend! I'm so happy Spring has returned to you!

Bonnie said...

We're so happy to have you as our guest designer this month, Mac. Your card is so creative and lovely. Putting the beautifully colored snowdrops into the golden eggs was such an ingenius idea.

Marcia Hill said...

Your gold outlined eggs with the beautiful flowers make this a STUNNING Spring card Mac! I just wish it were really Spring here in my neck of the woods, but no such luck...lots of cold and rain/snow mix lately and NO sunshine! Luckily we have beautiful cards like yours to look at and remind us what Spring really does look like!! Hugs. :0)

Brenda in IN said...

This is a wonderful guest designer card, Mac. Those gold eggs are gorgeous and the snowdrops inside look so beautiful. I really like the sentiment curved around the egg. So clever.

What a lovely touch the gold egg shape embossing is, frames your sweet watercolour snowdrops beautifully. Such a delicate card.
I have been taking up snowdrops from my MIL's garden to replant in my own so when she eventually moves out we will have a little reminder of my Hubbies childhood home. Hugs Tracey x
