Autumn toadstool

Good Morning everyone

Today is a Autumnal birthday card, using the fab pink ink toadstool stamp.  I teamed him up with some PET acetate toadstools and die cut leaves. 

   I used an Ombre ink pad and stamped the fungi onto ivory cardstock and cut them out, i added  little shading but mostly left them uncoloured.  I took a piece of the same ivory cardstock and stencilled lavinia pods with oxide inks and then over stamped with various leaf stamps.  In grey i used aall&create stamps to stamp the recipients birthday '11thOct' & the word 'autumn'   I used 2 of the nesting dies to die cut this and attached to a kraft base card, using foam tape behind the frame, this then gave me somewhere to tuck my leaves and toadstools into.

I then got arranging the stamped fungi with the acetate ones and added some die cut leaves  - these were cut from card inked with brusho's & Pixie powders so have some shimmer to them.  Clearly besotted sentiment stamp stamped onto the ivory, cut into a strip, matted onto kraft card and added to the top left corner to finish. 

By tucking some of the fungi and leaved both behind the frame and in front it gives a nice feeling of depth.  I can't help but smile each time i look at this chap, he is such fun.  

Items Used:
Pink Ink stamps 'Shitake happens'
aall&create stamps 'seasons'
Clearly besotted 'seasonal sentiment' stamps
Lavinia stencil 'pods'
Various leaf dies
Distress Oxide Inks ; fossilised amber, spiced marmalade, cracked pistachio, evergreen bough, 
Kaleidacolor Ombre ink pad 'desert heat'
