 Greetings friends. I wanted to start the blog hop off with an image that just made me smile. I will admit it, I wanted the clear stamp sent mainly for the sentiment. I know a lot of people who are going through hard times right now and I thought this was a good way to acknowledge that while adding a bit of humor.

To make the card, I stamped my mushroom onto cream cardstock using black Versafine ink. I then sponged the whole thing with various colors of brown Distress ink. To give the mushroom a bit of interest, I lightly spritzed the mushroom cap with some water to make it speckled. 

For the background of the card, I stamped my argyle cover a card background onto watercolor paper with black versfine ink and then colored the sections with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush.

To finish the card, I cut out my mushroom, die cut a rectangle frame and stamped my sentiment. Simple!

Here is a close up:
