Easter Cards

I used water color pencils and blended them to color the images.  Have only tried this once before.  The coloring is okay, could be better, but just a different technique.  Need to practice to get better at this.

The stamp set is Close to My Heart Sensational Season and I used the Nesting Doily in Oval from Lifestyle Crafts.  I have also used honeycomb in the middle to make an egg.
