Good Morning everyone
I had this brusho background matted onto black then white in my pile of phd's (projects half done!) for a very long time, a couple of years at least! As i was going through the pile again this fab pink ink stamp was sitting on the side and i thought it would be the ideal background for him.
6x6" card. I stamped the fungi stamp onto the background and 2 of the extra dragonflies from the set, i stamped them again onto white card, along with the mini mushrooms and then watercoloured them all with oxide inks and cut them out. Using glue gel i decoupaged the main fungi. I just glued the smaller character into place and added just the cap to the mini mushroom to the left.
I added some purple pixie powder to my craft mat and added a little water to turn it into a mica paint and used to colour the wings of the dragonflies and add a little to the leaves. I then added the extra wings to the dragonflies on the base. Not easy to show the amazing shimmer it has when the light hits the mica.
Stamped sentiment die cut into an oval to finish
Just a close up of the wee chap. Hopefully this card gave a big smile to the recipient and brightened their day.

Thank you all for stopping by once again. Ive had a hectic week with one of my own cats very poorly, then a stray cat turned up in a very poor state of health, so been to the vets every day this week so far. A new cooker delivery on Tuesday but the electrician supposed to fit it was in covid isolation...hopefully today the cooker will be connected so we can have something half decent to eat - just as well we have the microwave to at least have had something hot to eat as its been so cold! Why is it you can't just speak to any customer services on the phone anymore.....you spend ages pressing this number and that and in a queue, finally get to the front of the queue 40mins later to be told they aren't taking phone calls so try their web chat to only be then able to type in 10 words at a time to try and explain the issue! Still on a positive i do believe my mojo is returning at last as i had a good session with the gelli plate so lots of backgrounds to craft with now. I hope you all have a good day. Hugs Emmax

Another fabulous fungi card Emma, love it. I hope the cats are recovering and sorry to hear about your other issues. Customer services definitely seem to be a thing of the past now. Waited an hour and 5 mins to get through to a human the other day to be told I had to send a letter, but I couldn't find any contact addresses anywhere which was why I had phoned!!! Arrggghhh. Big hugs Kirsty. x
