Day Dreamin!!

Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for my mom for Mother's Day (surprise mom! lol--it will be in the mail cuz' I'm late with the card but not the presents)!  This card uses the fabulous new "Day Dreamin'" stamp from  Elisabeth Bell for SCACD--isn't it a beauty!  I love the it and the way the breeze seems to be blowing right thru--my fave thing in the world is to have a breeze blowing in thru the windows and to hear the trees rustling outside.  I also used the NEW Basic Grey paper "Capella"--isnt' it gorgeous (love those soft colors)--I used soft sky, dove gray and cream cardstocks to match it.  Susana will have the Basic Grey in stock early this coming week.

I used this past week's Friday Sketcher's sketch for my layout, wrapped it with cream ribbon and topped it with a bow made with my Bow Easy.  You can find these beautiful pearls here (in bliss) and those roses are Prima Cameo Roses--aren't they gorgeous tinged with color.  I used my favorite scroll punch here to accent the flowers and a MS leaf punch for the leaves.

She's colored with Copics (duh right) and then I added flower soft to the window box (I used baby blue and the sweet pea mix together).  I scored the shutters and folded them up so they were more 3-D.  The window panes have diamond glaze on them and while it was still wet I spritzed the center of the stamp (I folded the shutters back because I wanted them to be solid, not sparkly) with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.  The curtains got a coating of Shimmerz Buttercream paint after they were colored with Copics.  In my Class 4 at the Color Me Creative Classroom I have a video that shows multiple ways to color "sheer items" like these curtains.

hugz,
