Easter cybercrop, continued

I finished the remaining two challenges for the Scrapping Clearly ~ Easter cyber crop:

Challenge 3 - Eggstra creative
This is the one I found most challenging, but after I found the right photo I was happy with how it came together. The egg is hand-drawn and hand-cut, and I used four different patterned papers {My Mind's Eye Market Street + Pink Paislee C'est La Vie collections}.

🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰

Challenge 2 - Bunny Trails


My layout features an art installation at Tamborine Mountain, with poetry by Judith Wright.

I used Tim Holtz Tracks layering stencil to create the bush rate footprints. A little detail of the shimmer {Ranger Tim Holtz - Tarnished Brass distress stain}:

Challenge 5 - Chocolate Moments
I had fun using upcycled materials on this page -  I used a Lindt chocolate box to matt the photograph and I made the spoon from corrugated cardboard. The chocolate-coloured papers are from Kaisercraft Anthology collection and Simple Stories Color Vibes - Wood paper pad.
