Mushrooms at Sparkles Monthly!

Hello friends!  I hope that your October has been a good for you!  We have just started seeing some cooler weather and even a bit of frost coming tomorrow night!  I also wanted to say thank you for your comments about my last post.  After having such a break, getting my crafting back on has been touchy.  I’m trying to get organized!😁

Today starts the October challenge over at Sparkles Monthly and for this month, our hostess is asking to see a mushroom(s) on your project.  Be sure to stop by the blog to see what the rest of the team has created for you.  Here’s my project for this challenge:

I really like how this one turned out!  I was trying to keep it in an Autumn feel with using these colors and adding leaves.  Everything I’ve used came from Lawn Fawn.

I started by cutting out the background panel, the leaves and the mushrooms in different colors of cardstock.  I sponged over the each of the pieces for dimension and shading and then splattered over top of them with brown and white paint.

I just attached all of the layers together that I thought was pleasing to my eye and then I white heat embossed the sentiment over the brown cardstock and cut out the banner and popped it up over the leaves with foam tape.  Lastly, I just added a few white gems for sparkle.

I hope you like my card today and has inspired you in some way to play along with us for the challenge this month!  I would to see your mushroom creations in the gallery!  I appreciate you stopping today!
