More Easter Magic

I absolutely love this die set by Christina Griffins.  It is so versatile. Today I have a few more card examples from this die.  First these are the pieces I used to make my cards.
When you cut out the lattice egg all those little pieces fall out so if you cut out a few in different colors you can mix the pieces up and replace them into the openings of the lattice.  As you can see above there are all the little pieces.  Below is how the card turns out when pieced.  I love it.  The die set also came with a little die that cuts those bows which was the perfect touch to the card.
Then another way to use the die is to back the lattice with a solid egg shape of a patterned paper.  This is not as fussy as the piecing one is.
This can be used 2 different ways.  First way is as above where you have the lattice piece placed on top of the solid piece and it would then be placed on a card front.  The other way is using the lattice die right on the card front as a window and then on the inside of the card place a piece of designer paper behind it.
The purple one is where I layered the egg on top of the card front and the Gold one is where I used the Egg die as a window and backed it with designer paper.  The gold card is not complete but I wanted to show you the different way to use the dies. Both of them just had designer paper behind the lattice.    

Thanks for checking these out.  Maybe you'll find a reason to get these dies too.
