thanks so mush...

Hey there!  Popping in with a card that I made for Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches.  When I saw all the cute little mushrooms in the CTD inspiration photo I immediately wanted to use my Essentials by Ellen Snailed It stamp and die set.  Because the mushrooms are not small I did not go with a square card, but a rectangular one.  I stamped the mushroom stems in kraft ink and then the tops in red, green and black.  I die cut some Tim Holtz distress woodgrain cardstock with the largest A Jillian Vance Design stitched dot rectangle die and then after adhering the mushrooms together adhered them to the panel using foam dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Snailed It stamp set in kraft ink and then trimmed it out.  The word friend (from the Essentials by Ellen Mondo Daisy die set) was die cut three times, adhered together and then adhered to the card front along with the sentiment strip.  Finished by adhering the panel to a kraft cardstock base.  Also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.  (Compensated affiliate links used where possible.  Thank you for your support I truly appreciate it!)
