Ashjoy has set a fun challenge for this year's Dare to Get Dirty. Dare to Get Dirty is a week when we celebrate our Fan Club members with challenges and samples galore from Dirty Girls past and present! From August 4th to 10th, there are five or more challenges each day and prizes too!
If you're a Fan Club member come and join in the fun - if you're not already a member click here for the details on how to join!
I needed a thank you card so that's the way I went with this one but you could use any sentiment or no sentiment at all - the images in this set are lovely enough to stand completely alone, I think. I may I need to have a go at watercolouring this one next, I think I may be a little bit obsessed with wrinkly morel mushrooms!
Stamps:
Wild Mushrooms by Power Poppy
Very old sentiment set from CHF (no longer with us)
Paper:
Bristol board
Ink:
Brilliance by Tsukineko (Pearlescent Chocolate)
Other:
Copic markers
White paint pen by Posca
Corner Chomper
MISTI (because it's amazingly easy to stamp those tiny sentiments on the wonk!)

WOW - colors and shading are magnificent - into my favorites immediately. The morels caught my eye even in the thumbnail - but those violets and their leaves, too! repeat above - stunning.

What fun images! Amazing shading, the little flowers look as if they were 3D. I must check the set out - not so much to buy but out of curiosity. One of the guys in work, who I usually sit next too, is a food-lover and currently foraging for mushrooms. I suggested a wood near the village I grew up in, and he found black trumpets, boletus and and oyster mushroom which has been feeding him all weekend.

I just have to say your card is beautiful. The detail on the "shrooms" is amazing. But then in my opinion, the whole card really speaks to me for some reason?! LOL!
