I used several different colours of distress ink pads (listed above) to create the sunrise background, blending each line of colour into the next to create secondary colours. I then created the ground by blending Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters distress inks onto 2 pieces of white card with edges cut using the wavy die from my Stitched Border Trio die set. All the images from Branching Out were coloured with Copics, fussy-cut out, and added to the scene. I did add some glossy accents to the tops of the toadstools, but it might be a bit difficult to see in the photo.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
- Less is More #209: Little Ones (I have used tiny toadstools on my card, and a cute "little" fox critter)
