When I saw today's challenge I knew I wanted to make an Easter themed round top box. I adore the sweet chick from the A Good Egg set so I ended up using it and a paper pieced egg to create a focal point for the box.
The paper pieced egg and the broken egg on the bottom of the chick are from retired SU! dp - petals and paisley. It feels good to use some of my stashed dp - I tend to buy it and not use it too often. The band across the center of the egg is tempting turquoise and pretty in pink cardstock with white gel pen dot accents.
The little chick image was stamped in basic black ink of scrap whisper white cardstock and then again on the small tempting turquoise circle. I watercolored the image with so saffron and pumpkin pie ink. I cut the image out and popped it up on dimensionals over the other stamped image.
The small tempting turquoise circle is layered on a larger so saffron circle and a pretty in pink scalloped circle. I added white gel pen dot accents to each scallop and then adhered these matted layers to the rounded top of the box.
The layered sentiment was created with a wide pretty in pink oval, a large tempting turquoise oval and smaller stamped whisper white oval. I added white gel pen accents to the wide oval and attached a so saffron punched flower with the pretty in pink center in the upper left corner of the matted ovals. The "happy easter" sentiment was attached to the front of my box, overtop of some wonderful PTI lemon tart dotted ribbon. I added some irridescent filament and glittery eggs to the basket.

This box is spectacular, the perfect thing for Easter and I have never thought of using the large egg's "band" that way. It's genius.It's like you did with the set what was supposed to be done with it! Great blog too!
