My second card today, based on the Rainbow Mushroom set.
A2 base, papers are My Mind's Eye Bloom and Grow, also the brad.
I started by stamping and embossing the mushoom. While still in the die I stamped it with Canvas and Versamark, and then lightly chalked around the mushroom. Then I painted the mushroom itself with H2Os and added Liquid Pearls to the spots. The paisley layer is embossed diagonally across the corners and sponged with green, leaving a plain strip in the middle. I cut the frog out, and then cut another circle for him to sit on. Bunched up some grosgrain ribbon under the brad.
I wanted to add a sentiment, but didn't want to add a strong visual element, so I stamped it with StazOn on acetate, cut the circle and embossed it with Swiss Dots. Wiped the edges with a permanent marker and stuck it on with spray adhesive.
The mushroom, dotted circle and frog are all up on foam, and I added wobbly eyes to Mr. Froggy.
It's very gloomy and grey today, so after my black and white card I was hoppy to make a cheerful one.

Hey gallery neighbor. I love your card. The little polka dots are so cute. I like the circle mr froggy is sitting on. I like how you looped the ribbon three times. So adorable.
