I am also working on some more papers myself in a similar colour and style which I will be posting soon.
The lid of the box
The inside of the box.
The colour of these papers is much more light sage green, not turqoise like on these photos (sorry).
Here is a selection of vintage easter eggs. They are blown out eggs, gessoed (you can't get white eggs in the UK) and then covered with tissue paper. I then stamped and/or printed on some more tissue for the designs and then modpodged it onto the eggs. Stamps are from Oxfort Impressens and Stempleglede. Images from the Graphics Fairy, thank you!!
A couple of close ups of the eggs

Wow, you've been very creative, wonderful pieces.
How wonderful to get a free cigar box like this and you have altered it so beautifully and loving your eggs as well. Enjoy your Sunday Astrid. Annette x

What a lovely box to keep 'special' letters and cards in.
Love the eggs, what a great idea!
These eggs are exquisite, Astrid. I found it interesting you can't get white eggs in the UK. No Leghorn chickens there, huh?
I'm so glad I scrolled down Astrid. Your decorated box is just fantastic. What a lovely keepsake! And your patience in decorating those eggs...My, my! They are exquisite! And thank you too for the lovely papers! Hugs xx
Wow! Your box is gorgeous Astrid, as are the eggs!
