FMS706 Fall Toadstool

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I am going into a crazy-busy weekend, trying to get a gazillion things done! Ever have days/weeks like that?  I am sure it will all turn out okay!  I did squeak in some time to play with Amy's sketch at FMS:

So fun!  I deviated from my favorite pumpkins and leaves and decided to go in a different fall direction:


I've been hoarding this fun paper for a while....it's called Painted Seasons.  I backed it with a panel of Basic Beige, then stamped some images from Terrific Toadstools.  To give them some dimension, I added some shading with ink and a blender pen, trying to make it look more like the images on the DSP:


I wanted as much of the DSP to show through as possible, so I created a vellum circle and Poppy Parade border, then added a Honey Bee sentiment!  The background is embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder.  I know these toadstools are called Fly Agaric (although mine is not exactly like that one), and can make you sick, but they are so eye-catching, I'll forgive them!

Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

  2. We are seeing lots of mushrooms in the woods of the dunes around here, LeAnne but none like this - nor as cute! That DSP was a wonderful jumping off point to your creation!
    Thanks for playing along with us at FMS again!
