My project :) Egg Tree

Close Up

I cut off the baby carriage and used ink to distress the tree.

I then cut the eggs and I also used the flip button, so that I can glue two eggs back-to-back.

Materials Used

Cartridges: Baby Shower (tree cut at fit to page)
                  Doodlecharms (eggs cut at 2 1/2 inches)
