April is here and this means a new challenge. Thanks to everyone for joining in our last challenge. So many beautiful Easter designs and great to see a lot of people adding those extra folds to their creations to get their bonus entries. Now the Design Team has thought long and hard and their Favourite for challenge #9 is:-

Donna

Isn't Donna's Easter basket just stunning. It has been filled with chocolate eggs of various sizes, and Lace Eggs.

To make this Easter basket Donna has used cardstock, patterned papers, punches, smallest nesting egg first on heavy acetate coloured with Tria Markers. Then poured some crystal Waco pearl maker over it to cover the whole egg and sprinkled glamour dust. Donna cut a second Lace Egg out of gold mirri card and glued one to the front and one to the back of the egg. Then attached a gold puffy bow on the front of each egg.
