Here is my card using the inspiration colors. I felt like I could have made several cards using this color combination and probably will in the near future.
Love these mushrooms from Cornish Heritage Farms, when I ordered them I wasn't sure how I was going to use them and already have inked them up twice. The butterflies and ladybugs are from Hero Arts. The lined paper stamp on the background is also Cornish Heritage Farms. (I stocked up since they are closing their doors and I love their stamps).
The inks are Hero Arts Shadow Ink Soft Sand, Ranger Distress Inks - Antique Linen, Versafine Black Onyx.
I used watercolor pencils to color in all my images and added a touch of this fun black glitter from Clearsnap.
The lovely sentiment is from StampScapes.
Now onto some really important stuff...
