Hi everyone,
it's hubby's birthday today and this is the card I whipped up for him!
He's a gardener and loves mushrooms, so these new to me dies from Hero Arts seemed perfect.
I started by spritzing some distress spray stain in bundled sage, iced spruce and antique linen on some card.
Next I embossed it with a 3D fern folder, realized I had debossed instead of embossed so put it through again! Then I highlighted the texture with a white pigment ink pad and added some evergreen bough distress ink around the edges.
It looked a bit murky so I sprayed on some gold shimmer spray to lighten things up!
The ferns and shrooms are diecut from some scraps leftover from a Lindy's magical background.
I'm linking up to some challenges:
dry embossing again.
Dies: Hero Arts mushroom and ferns fancy dies: Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle; Memory Box parker numbers; Creative Expressions stacked happy birthday
Other: distress spray stains and ink; white pigment ink; 3D fern embossing folder; black glossy card stock; Lindys magicals; gold shimmer spray.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
