Easter Eggs & Tiny Chicks

Often sketches intended for layouts have too many elements to shrink into a card-sized palette, but I when I looked at the current Pencil Lines Sketch, I decided to try and make it work.  My finished card is 5 1/2" square and will be included in a box of Easter goodies for the nieces and nephews, so I didn't have to worry about bulkiness for mailing.

I used my felt Easter egg sticker as my color palette, and went hunting through my scrapbox for pieces of paper that would coordinate.  I used two different yellow DPs and some Cosmo Cricket Matilda for the background (why is it Halloween is the only holiday that has embraced purple?).  

I finished with a felt chick sticker, some tiny gem flourishes from the $1 bin at Michael's, a tiny metal charm, and SRM Sticker sentiments.  A bit busy, but considering my audience is the five-and-under crowd, I think it is just perfect.
