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}.
