Mushroom Family...

"Mushroom Digi" provided by Aurora Wings

Sometimes when I am just browsing, an image makes me 
come to an abrupt stop... this is one of them.  Sweet, innocent, 
quirky, depicting familial love -  I love it to pieces! 

This is my choice for the new Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Ave C 
starting today.  Aurora Wings & Dr. Digi are the two sponsors this go
around - so there will be two prizes available... and if you follow the 
link you can see what the rest of the DT have created with their images!
You can submit up to three entries and you have one week from today.  

TECHNIQUE

[Note: specific information on supplies and sources will be found below under “Supplies”.]

• A2 card size with a top fold
• This is one of the few images that I colored first with my Copics before I chose a background.  I wasn't sure where my colors would end up and I wanted that freedom. They ended up much more sedate than I thought they would - so I went wild with the DP.

• I wanted minimal distraction in terms of embellishments considering the wild and wonderful colors in the Basic Grey DP background - so I chose a bubble border punch, three stripes of shear pink ribbon [across the background paper] and a single, see thru acrylic, pink heart held in place with a pink brad.

• To bring color under the bubbles I cut a small strip of the DP and taped it in place under the image panel in such a way that I got maximum color showing thru.  That panel was then elevated on the background using foam tape. 



Inside

• The inside uses extra papers from the front with the bubble punch used again on the DP strip on the message panel.
