More gifts for me

... you are spoiling me, Moonmoss! Embala loves her Easterly home in shimmering Palace stuff

... and Venka feels comfortable there, too. Excellent choice and well done! Her colors go nicely with the light reflections in the egg ... and the turn-around made the frame perfect.
I'd like to add it to the "gift post" - provided your agreement.

Actually Moonstone is one of these shimmering gemstones I value far beyond bright gleaming jewels. And the "rainbow" variance has an endearing quality!

Indeed Sharptooth's opinion was highly estimated when I needed feedback on previews - and there were some others whose encouragement made me actually start this.

I'd be honoured if you added my gift-Venka there..

I too, value some gemstones far beyond jewels. Rainbow moonstone with its shimmering blue glint on the pure white rock is most beautiful. Amber with the deep fire within is another one of my favourites- that suited as a background for young Leetah perfectly

- for Startear (DJIH), a very secret hunter ... without luck

This egg is Black Turmaline (probably) - it's snow in the night for sure!

Asking me, Redhead? Let's see ...

1. You need a picture editing program that allows you to work with different layers.

2. Hunting on the web for good eggs ... yes, I confess :/

3. choosing pictures for the decoration - cut them out, clean them, crop them, make sure to enhance quality again ...

4. combine the layers:
- base layer is the egg picture
- middle layer is the prepared EQ motive ... you might have to weaken the outlines and erase this or that end
- top layer is the egg picture again - in a transparent quality of 20% to 40% of the original, depending on the background and the motive.

This last layer "melts" the motive in the egg - it's a bit blurry now, but doesn't look like a sticker anymore. It's more like a drawing - with slightly transparent colors.

You should get the same effect when you make the motive layer transparent (80% to 70%) - but I prefer to work in three layers.

Does this help?

Then you get a short rest before it's time to think about the Easter Egg Hunt!

It's very generous that you will grant me some rest after doing the extended Advent calendars, Redhead.
Let me tell you however - I am thinking about the Easter Egg Hunt! for months already.
