Today, it isn't a card (obviously), but still a project from my stash!
The end result (one again) isn't what I started with. Let me show you my fails....

So, my original thought was to make an eggshell mosaic pin for my SIL....Lauren made it look so easy. One word...NOT! I used Ranger Adirondack Ink which I thought I HAD to have and eggshells and cardboard salvaged from a case of beer. Obviously a gentle touch is better.....less is more...
After getting eggshells stuck from head to toe, I conceded!
Because I had promised Shelly a handmade gift, I consulted the Ranger site and modified one of their tutorials and came up with this....
