C'mon Spring!

I needed to put together a tutorial for Paper Wishes today, and since I'm REALLY in the mood for Spring to hurry up and get here, I decided to try some Easter eggs.

I tried coloring one with Copic markers - did okay, but you could see the brush strokes. 

I then tried one using Distress Inks and the Ranger Foam applicator. I got the best results with this technique.

I also tried the Distress inks using a reinker and a sponge but never could get it to dry! I even tried heat setting it - I finally had to wipe it off!

I then applied some Dazzles, flowers and rhinestones.

Coloring the Dazzles with Copic markers gave a really pretty effect!

I also found that using four corners at the top of the egg worked well too.

And one last tip - it seems like the Scrapbook Dazzles must have a different kind of adhesive - I had a very hard time getting them to stick to the eggs, and had to use glue.  I don't know what is different but there must be something!

What will you create! Show me your creations!
