Inkspirational #351 Mood Board

 There's a new challenge up at Inkspirational #351 - and it's a Moodboard!

Pretty obvious what things inspired me.

The red top mushrooms with their white dots, the snail  and butterfly!

The snail and sentiment stamps are from Mush Love and Snailed It stamp sets from Claire Brennan Design (retired)

I made a second card without the snail -  making it a little less whimsical? 
Or for someone who might think snails are slimy!   
 
I added the enamel heart from Altenew and the butterfly from This calls for Confetti on both cards.  I used Glossy White Nuvo Crystal drops on the mushroom caps.  I colored everything with Copics.

I actually made two more (before the two above) but messed them both up with a stencil background and with a hand drawn squiggle frame -  you never know what it will look like until you do it - and sometimes you really DON"T LIKE IT - so into the trash they went!   

 I used a newly purchased Mushroom Duo Press Plate and Die set

So please join us and show us your card design inspired by the Moodboard!
You'll find wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team and Mr. Linky over at Inkspirational.

This challenge ends Oct 10th.

I'm also sending my card to:

  10. I like both versions of this mushroom design. I’d say the one without the snail is a bit more suited for a man, but females don’t mind a cutie snail on a card. It’s the ones in real life that bother us:)
