I still have a lot of wedding favors to make, so I wonÂ’t be traveling to Ladybug Loulabella Rockafella's New York Estate for the teapot party today. BUT I did want to help Aunt Sadie out. SO I stayed up late last night picking daisies and daisy petals to put in a box to send to Mothermark. IÂ’m sure she will know what to do with all 42,000 of them. heheÂ….detailsÂ….
Oh yeah, can you believe that the kite that got away on BobbiesgirlÂ’s card got stuck on this mailbox. How funny! Carol, IÂ’ll mail it back to you as soon as I can pull it in, kind of windy here todayÂ…..again hehe.
For my card, I drew the mailbox, and colored with copics.
On a grocery sack, I stamped the box with a Judith stamp twice, cut out. All the flowers are from a punch, just doubled them up so they looked like daisies. The centers are from a hole punch. The leaf punch is from MS. All are punched using shimmery white cs. For the colored parts, I sponged color on the cs, then punched out. I did sponge tea dye on each flower petal.
Masked and sponged the grass, then the sky using Rosie Roadshow cloud stencil.
I used the left over paper from punching out the flowers as a stencil for the sponged flowers on the edge of the card, then doodling around them. Sponged tea dye over that.
LotÂ’s of popping up going on here for dimension. Well, I hope my package arrives safely to Mothermark'sÂ…Â…and hope yaÂ’ll like the card. TFL :0)
Hi Sis!
P.S. there was a lady bug on my card, but right when I snapped the picture, it flew away. hehe

Mutnik, this is a positively fantastic creation you've come up with here!! I LOVE everything about. But, that box, complete with addressee and 42,000 daisies coming out of it, is da bomb!! OMG, she will fall in love with this one. Great scenery and coloring and too bad about the ladybug. That would have been a neat extra touch!! WOW!! TFS!
