Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've had these mushroom dies for quite a while and finally got around to
using them. I made lots and colored them up for my craft group swaps last month.
Here you can see my first design but I decided I needed to go with something simpler
since I needed six and time was short.
You can see the dimension better here.
There's a die cut pocket and tag on the back for a message.
Here's the simpler version on a regular card that I did for swaps at Craft Group.
Each card has a different arrangement of colors. I had so much fun making them;
almost as much fun as hanging out for a day with these friends!
Challenges:
Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Use Ink
Inkspirational #321 - Woodland
NBUS #65 - Never Before Used Schtuff
Card Recipe
Stamps:
Ink: Lost Shadow, Vintage Photo, Scorched Timber, Peeled Paint, Rustic Wilderness, Crackling Campfire, Lumberjack Plaid, Uncharted Mariner (DI)
Paper: Mixed Media, Kraft, Rustic Primitive White (MFT)
Other: Spring Leaves Cover Plate (HB), Essential Arches (SB), Mushroom Stems Die (SSS), Sword Fern Die (SSS), Woodland EF (ret SU)
Enjoy!

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Your mushroom cards are pretty and different. Love both of them. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are just so pretty Bonnie - not being a "Fancy Nancy", I actually like the more simple design better. But then again, the embossed background seems to show up better with the first card and I have to say, I do like the dimension of your first card. The first thing I notice on any card is the color.
ReplyDeleteWe have started off our week with hurricane weather!

I love them both so MUSH, Bonnie - but there is nothing more wonderful than those shadow box cards!
ReplyDeleteBet your group just loved your mushrooms I DO!
=]
I love the colorful tops and the way you colored the stems, Bonnie. I may be CASEing your arch design one day.
ReplyDeleteOooo, beautiful shrooms, Bonnie! Might need to play with those next time. I love that shadow box style card. It has so much texture and depth. So do the mushrooms. Love your coloring and shading of them. I like them better than the ones that popped up in my yard last week. LOL
ReplyDeleteYour trio of colored mushrooms on both cards are SO pretty Bonnie, and who would ever have thought mushrooms could be pretty?!! I absolutely LOVE all the dimension of your first box card...awesome my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou've made the most of your fabulous mushroom dies, Bonnie. These cards are AWESOME! xx
ReplyDeleteI love both versions using these pretty mushrooms and foliage Bonnie, and the coverplate leaf die on the kraft card makes a wonderful background, and the embossed trees within the arched frame go beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteLovin your colorful shrooms and the shadow box design. But I would be making the simple one too, if I had to make six of them. Both are great designs. Love your coloring on those mushrooms!
ReplyDeleteThey are both terrific and colorful. I do like the dimension you got on the raised card.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, you really texturized that first design to the max, Bon! It's awe-mazing! I love those mushrooms and making them can be addicting, so the simpler (and still beautiful design) is a good idea for using them on a card for yourself or the craft group. Your coloring is fantastic, as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking again to NBUS and playing with my I.D.E.A.S. this inky week! Hugs, Dolly
Really great cards! I love the mushrooms, colors and all the little details that make all three fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTwo marvelous makes, Bonnie! Love the shadow box!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of your mushrooms especially the blue and red. They really pop on the card ♥
ReplyDeleteI Love both your fun and colorful mushroom cards, Bonnie. Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend. Love and Big Hugs.....Nancy
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, love those mushrooms x
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this? I’d never think to get that stamp until I saw what you did with it. These are just super, Bonnie! Your ability to design is just amaazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mushrooms, Bonnie!! Did you create the shadow box yourself? Looks amazing & I love the tree texture behind the shrooms!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute.
ReplyDeleteLove those colourful mushrooms! The embossed birch trees are the perfect background to set the mushrooms in a forest.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous mushrooms Bonnie! Love the dimensional one inside the arch - but the easier design is beautiful as well! thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational: Woodlands! Julia xx

I LOVE the mushrooms! You're so productive coloring up a bunch at a time. I read that you did the same with the humming bird, and you always have such lovely things in your UFO box. I'm swooning again!
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie, these are so gorgeous. I love your mushrooms in both iterations. Love the colors, the embossing the design - everything. Very inspiring.
