FANTASTIC FUNGI / CQC #16 & 2S4Y #44...


The mailman delivered a fun surprise yesterday... my monthly kit from Unity Stamp Company!




I thought these mushrooms were so cute, especially that little snail, too! I decided to use the colourQ Challenge for the color scheme and Kazan's Sketch #44, from 2 Sketches 4 You.

The background papers were made by covering newspaper with white tissue that was wadded up & then smoothed back out. The bottom layer was sponged with Pretty in Pink ink. I paper-pieced the mushrooms with bits of retired Stampin' Up! designer series papers. The punch is a Sale-a-Bration item from Stampin' Up!, the Scallop Trim Border Punch. This punch is FREE with a $50 SU! order for a limited time!


Thanks for stopping in - have a terrific day!
