…was the title for this ATC which unfortunately went missing in the post on its way to the lady who was organising the swap. I was so pleased with it at the time because it was the first time that I felt I had managed a decent Stampbord piece… typical lol. Nevermind, these things happen, but I thought that I would share it here. 

I took a piece from a Stampbord ATC blank pack and used a sponge applicator to colour it up using Creamy Brown, Dark Brown, and Chestnut Roan from my Chocolates and Blueberries Cat’s Eye Fluid Chalk Queue inkpads set. I stamped my chosen image from Joanna Sheen’s Wildlife Mushrooms stamp sheet with black Stazon and then coloured the mushroom top with a red Sakura Stardust pen, and watered coloured the leaves and base of the mushroom with a dark green Sakura Startdust pen, after which I used a scratch knife to whiten the mushroom spots and add detail to the cup underside and stalk. To finish I added some pressed leaves from some of my packs of Joanna Sheen’s Ready Pressed Flowers, concluding with some Self Adhesive Pearls and a butterfly from an Artwork Butterflies pack.

I hope that you enjoy this piece and thank you for popping by today.
