I love opening the Savvy Saturday blog post each week to see what amazing thing my team mates have come up with and this week was no exception. Sherry Cheever began our little fiesta when she posted on the Spellbindersâ„¢ Surprise Party! with this great card project. Then Margie picked up the ball with her lovely card. Now, it’s my turn, and I decided to use the same layering technique but with some airbrushing. Here is the result.

I began by cutting one of our new die templates S4-264 Nested Eggs. (Being released on January 24th at CHA in California) which was revealed by Janine Blackwelder during the party. Here is how I laid out the die templates on the Magnetic Spacer Plate, using all of them.

Because I stacked the pieces, cutting them in the center was not a problem and it allowed me to just make one pass in the Wizard to cut them all. The thickness of paper will determine whether you can do this or not. You may need to take two passes. I used a sheet of color copy paper that works great with Copic markers. It was an 8½ x 11″ regular sized sheet that I folded in half to cut both layers at the same time.

I layered a large egg with four of the largest eggs and three small ones. Note that the #3 egg is used twice.

I added the I2-1002 Butterflies Impressabilitiesâ„¢ template to the top along with the second White Master Mat and embossed in the Wizardâ„¢.

Next came my airbrush board (12×12″ lightweight chipboard that I use for airbrushing). I placed the I2-1002 Butterflies Impressabilitiesâ„¢ on top of the layered eggs and placed my Magnetic Spacer Plate underneath to help hold the template in place while airbrushing. I airbrushed small strips of color onto the two eggs.

I layered the eggs using dimensional adhesive. I wanted to add the eggs to a basket but I couldn’t find what I wanted in my house so I cut down a snack box, covered it with coordinating paper and cut S7-004 Illumination Border Grand to use as a handle.

For the final step, I used JustRite Stampers for the stamped sentiments. The round sentiment was cut/embossed with S4-124 Classic Scalloped Circles LG (#1, the center). The “at EASTER”  was cut/embossed with S4-235 Fancy Tags.

I put it all together with my favorite adhesive, added some paper “grass”, a small lotion and nail polish. It’s ready for grandma, my daughter’s teacher or her Sunday School Director. I guess I’ll have to make two more.
