Not too long ago I saw some adorable silhouette eggs on Pinterest. They were too colorful for my decor but I loved the idea! Then later I saw some beautiful tea-stained eggs here on Southern Living’s website. I decided to try to mix the two ideas and was really happy with how it turned out.

When I started doing monthly posts for Dear Lillie last summer I made a promise to keep my topics of choice “somewhat related to the general theme of the blog.” In keeping with that promise, I decided to try my hand at a little crafting this month. What I thought would take about five minutes wound up taking three days… and still ended up looking like it took only five minutes.

Here is the side by side of the photo before I did anything to Lola’s eyes and after I made the eyes “pop” (with some added texture and an action applied). This isn’t a very interesting or creative shot but I wanted to use a new photo for this tutorial instead of one I had already edited and neither Lola or Lillie were very cooperative the other day.
