Hey Crafty Friends -
How about the creativity of the Snail with Whimsical Mushrooms September released stamp?! The image spoke to me and I couldn't wait to create with it.
- I created a background using the Worn Leaves Background stamped in black ink.
- The Snail with Whimsical Mushroom was stamped on white card stock. I then stamped the image again on Ink Drops - Candy patterned paper by Craft papers.
- I colored the leaves, snail body and trunks of the mushrooms with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers.
- I enjoy paper piecing so I did just that with the shell of the snail and the tops of the mushrooms. I used my white gel pen to add accents to the shell of the snail as well as added sparkle with my clear shimmer pen.
- I then cut out the entire image and adhered it to the background I created with 3-D foam tape.
- The sentiment is from the Nature Heals stamp set. I thought it was fitting. I heat embossed it on black card stock and cut it out going around the words. I then used the same patterned paper to add the sentiment too and cut around the sentiment again to so it didn't get lost against the black and white background.
- I added the background mat to a black piece of card stock and adhered it to an A2 size base.
Here is card number two I created using using the Snail with Whimsical Mushroom stamp:
- I randomly stamped the image on white card stock with light grey ink. I used a scalloped edge die to cut out the randomly stamped background. I then stamped the image on top of the same piece of card stock in black ink.
- The colored the snail body, leaves and trunk of the mushrooms. I paper pieced the snail shell and mushroom tops.
- I heat embossed the Get Well Soon sentiment in white on black card stock. The sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments 2a stamp set.
- I added a few embellishment gems to finish this card off.
I hope you are inspired! Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
