I was drawn to this mushroom set of Die D Lites from Spellbinders as soon as I saw it I cut it in white and coloured with Promarkers. Red seemed a good choice, although if anyone wandering through the woods spotted these and fancied mushrooms with their breakfast bacon, they may end up with a bit of a tummy ache.......
The mushrooms and grass come with the set, I added a few tiny flowers from the Draping Vines Frame set (more of that later this week), and mounted the whole lot onto a Pierced Square panel which I had sponged lightly with Simon Says Stamp sea glass ink (love that colour). Pop over to Spellbinders HERE to see all the latest dies - lots on sale over there as well.....
It has been glorious weather here this weekend, so I have pottered in the garden, musing as I went why weeds, with no nurturing, watering, feeding or pruning, grow about ten times more quickly than the plants that have all the love and attention given to them..........
How come the watering can/wheelbarrow/trowel are always at the opposite end of the garden when you need them?..........
Why do shrubs look gorgeous in the garden center when you buy them, and a year later (despite following the instructions on the label slavishly) don't produce a single flower......
Where DO flies go in the Winter? How can they reappear as huge fat buzzy fully grown flies as soon as the sun shines.......
and finally
If bees are so important to the planet, what is the purpose of wasps, apart from being really really annoying?.....
Sorry, I can't answer all those fascinating observations, but, I can say how much I love your card
ReplyDeleteYour card is fab. It's like a little smurfs village.
ReplyDeleteAww Enfys this is one gorgeous card not sure where the flies go in winter and your right always at the other side of the garden are the garden tools when needed! take care sending lots of love x
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. I love the soft Spring colours you've used. Those dies look so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card this is, and I love the wonderful brilliant red color you achieved with your markers .... it is soooo vibrant. I love your musing over your spring garden. What a coincidence that I ponder the very same thoughts each spring!

Cute! Cute!! luv the card....I'm a big fan of colorful mushrooms...we had only 2 sunny days and I don't know where these giant horse flies come from or even how they get in the house???
ReplyDeleteYour ravings about the enchanting mushroom set and the delights of gardening bring to mind a whimsical touch to the creative as well outdoor experiences. It is amazing how simple and yet complex die-cut designs like Spellbinders’ mushroom set could ignite creativity in order to become beautiful projects.
ReplyDeleteNow let us talk of another random thing such as being locked out. Similar to how inexplicable gardening problems can be, finding oneself outside cannot be very confusing. In your blog post, you might compare irregularities in gardening (like a disappearing watering can or why shrubs don’t flower) and random demand for lockout service manhattan.
