2026: Thanks So Mush (again) [Card #167]

Hello again, sweet friends! 
So this card might look familiar... similar to THIS card. 

Well... there's MORE to the story... 
 
The card I made for our friend, John, took four tries for the background and four MORE tries for the mushrooms. The background wasn't working for me, not sure why, but I ended up with the fourth try and then stamped on two other ones not thinking about saving them. That is out of character for me, as I LOOOOOOOOOOVE using up scraps! LOL 

As for the mushrooms- I don't like mushrooms. This made me nervous to color them. And it showed in the first three tries for yesterday's card. On John's card, I ended up fussy cutting the mushrooms and highlight coloring. I think it turned out AMAZING
 
So skip forward a day or two... and I was looking at the ruined scraps... I decided to make another similar card. This time I conquered my mushroom coloring fear! I think I nailed this coloring--- I'm still a newbie but really learning how to color! Plus, I love the blues and pop of red for that snail!  
 
I honestly might love this card more than the one I was inspired by! LOL!  

That's it for me today.

THANKS so much for stopping by! MORE to come 💌
