I almost didn't get this set with my first order from the new catalog but at the last minute, just had to have it and I'm so happy I did!
After assembling my seven new sets, I was a little brain dead so went to the gallery and found this lovely, simple card by Aleska901 and CASEd it: SUO Upsy Daisy by Aleska901 at Splitcoaststampers
It is 5½ x 4¼. I just trimmed ¼” off both sides of the mustard layer, then scalloped the edge of the white piece and trimmed the other sides to make it 5” x 3 ¾”. (Hope that makes sense. For my first attempt, I trimmed the white piece, THEN scalloped it and it ended up a little short – a slight difference, but I liked this version better.)
I inked the stamp with More Mustard using the classic ink pad. Then I took my chocolate chip marker and colored the bases of some of the blossoms. Then I used my old olive marker on the stems.
I just stamped this onto Whisper White CS and lightly sponged all the way around the card with Old Olive then with Chocolate Chip from the ink pads. The speckles are from the Itty Bitty Background stamp which I inked with Mellow Moss, then stamped off onto scratch paper first each time I stamped randomly over the card.
Thanks for looking, and Blessings to everyone!

Beautiful. Love the spritzing and the use of the Dreams sentiment. I restrained myself and didn't order this set...yet. I'm really wishing I had it NOW.
