Oh my goodness, how hard can a challenge look and then turn out to be so much fun. This is for Jeanne's great challenge....make a mini card 2.5" x 2.5".
These are certainly the smallest cards I have ever made...I can't wait to make envelopes for them LOL. I have a stash of mixed media off cuts and a lot of off cuts from A4 cardstock.
My "inner frugal godddess" is doing cartwheels as I type. I used up left over A4 strips of hammertone cardstock to make the card bases. I also used left over itty bitty bits of mixed media scraps (I knew I was saving them for a reason).
I had so much fun making these, thank you for looking and have a terrific weekend ladies.

LOL at your technique - I was thinking of them as twinchies plus a half, grins.
Susie, these are TOTALLY adorable and cute. I don't enjoy eating mushrooms much but I mostly love them on cards and I certainly love these. The white against your mm backgrounds are just fabulous.

Your upside down tree stamp makes a perfect dotty background for the white mushrooms! There is a distinct air of the fantasy and the ethereal. Your inner frugal goddess knows a good thing when she sees it!

As usual your comments make me smile and I love you little cards! (And I thought I didn't read the directions right for the size of the cards/image either!!)
Your cards are so cute. You did a fabulous job with these mini cards! I love the fact that you used some scraps! I love it when I can use my leftovers. Because I don't throw too much away!

Yep, tiny cards with tiny things (mushrooms) on them - and how fantastic they look with your leftover mixed media pieces - so funny, hearing you are doing cartwheels - PLEASE be careful! we don't want to hear of a trip to the ER, just because you are happy to use up your scraps! HUGS!
