Easter Egg Hunt

Hi y'all!  Today's Stamp Simply project was inspired by a little trip down Memory Lane!  

When I was young my cousins and I would Easter egg hunt in the semi-circle drive of my maternal grandparents' "old house place" where there was a low slate wall and a profusion of blooms...daffodils if I remember correctly.  (This was up until the time that I was around 10 years old when my grandmother passed away and my grandfather sold the property to a logging/tree farm company.)

This does indeed look like lots of plants clustered together with a bounty of eggs laid in relatively plain view, and that is exactly what I was going for!  This card just makes me smile!  We always had SO much fun!  

I have been told that many years later when some of those old pine trees came down, there was still an old plastic Easter egg up there in one of the crooks of a low limb!  Can you imagine?!      

I decided to experiment with reversing a few of the flowers by stamping some onto a gelliplate and then rubbing a piece of card stock over it. It worked but meant fussy-cutting those reversed blooms so it ended up probably being more work than it was worth. Nice to know it is do-able if needs must, though.  

I really wish I would've left a small border around those that I fussy cut so that they would have been more contsistent with the ones that were die cut.  At least this way you can see what they look like both ways.  :)
