Whimsical Toadstool Birthday!.....


Here's yet another shaped easel card for you-the last one for now...PROMISE!!! I'm having to delve into my card archives for things you haven't seen 'cos I've been so busy prepping Christmas cards I haven't had time to make anything else! I'll have something fresh to show you tomorrow. This was another card that was part of my last workshop. It's a really cute card, suitable for a small child or an adult who likes whimsical things. I used Dovecraft papers (this one has little white daisies on a green background so it looks like a field of daisies!) I cut the mushroom from Bazill cardstock scraps and added a cute ladybird to the stalk. Some grass roughly cut from green paper and some teeny-tiny Prima flowers complete the mushroom. I cut 'Happy Birthday' from red card, shadowed with white then adhered to a daisy border cut from white textured cardstock. This was adhered to the base of the card with foam pads. A layered bloom was added to the large white spot on the mushroom, and the finished mushroom was adhered to the front of the card after I drew around it and cut away the excess. A liberal sprinkling of glitter completes the card.
