This is my sample for CC740. I am your hostess this week and I chose mango melody, poppy parade and call me clover for the color palette. Dessert Option this week is a birthday or thank you card.
I made a birthday card for a friend who is a mushroom connoisseur. She buys her mushrooms at this specialty store in Avondale, PA. She raves about the quality of their mushrooms. I have had them and can say they are quite delicious. She always brings back some exotic mushrooms when she travels there. So, I thought she might like this card.
I used the CottageCutz stitched mushrooms die and cut them in the challenge colors. On the largest mushroom I added a layer of crumb cake (neutral).
My background designer paper is from the Stampin'- Up Painted Seasons collection. It has all the challenge colors.
My sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up "life is grand" set. It's one of their distinctive stamps. I love the big bold sentiments and the way the set stamps.
I added some poppy parade ribbon and a few poppy parade dots and my card is complete.
Hope you can play along with us this week. I have chosen some bright and bold colors and would love to see how you use them.

Those die cut mushrooms are so cute and of course go perfectly with the dsp in the background. Too funny, I almost used the same dsp as it is so pretty. Perfect card for your mushroom connoisseur friend!
