Hello Crafty Friends,
How about some fantasy mushroom hunting using the latest printable from Hero Arts -- are they not adorable? Kind of Autumnal Alice in Wonderland goes wild, I think?
I drank my morning coffee while watching the AMAZING Kelly Taylor do some bokeh/Copic backgrounds--her video was so inspiring that I had to try it myself!
I spent today recovering from jet lag and coloring the grouped mushrooms in this digital printable (while binge-watching Better Call Saul...how have I missed this show?). My back ground did NOT come out smooth and dreamy (sigh...it is not like Kelly's...), but the streaky colors still made me smile and I carried on coloring my little mushroom patch.
Following Kelly's lead, I used Hero Arts unicorn white pigment ink with the Large Sprinkled Dots stencil to add that bokeh effect (Kelly does that a little differently, but I think this stencil really gets the job done). I added a sentiment from the printable that's appropriately punny, backed both the mushrooms and the sentiment in HA's woodland cardstock, mounted them on an A2 card base and BOOM! presto-card-o, ready to mail.
I'll have more digital-based cards later this month for you (there's also a tree printable and a leafy digital kit to play with). Until then, enjoy the changing season and thanks for stopping by.
Essie
