I thought outside the box as in 'Mushroom' for my frame by using the negative Mushroom which I trimmed some as frame for the digi Mouse House.
Colored the digi Mouse House using Crayola pencil colors and added some glitter. Used foam adhesive to place the digi Mouse House behind the Mushroom frame to give it a popped 3D look. Stamped the BasicGrey flowers on Kraft green cardstock (from 'Greens' pkg bought from Hobby Lobby), scissor cutted the petals & used foam adhesive for 3D look. Stamped the Mother's Day sentiment. Added some buttons & ribbon.
Tried the flower stamping on several different types & color of cardstock but the Kraft green won out and when the petals were scissor cut the green looks like leaves or grass.
I did not imagine that I could enter this in 30+ challenges.
buttons: 2 orange
coloring of digi:
Crayola pencil colors
glitter - blue (bird's eye), white(windows) & yellow (flower centers)
white enamel accents (clouds)
Cricut cartridge: 3" Mushroom
also used the negative 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece and trimmed it some to show off more of my digi Mouse House
ink:
Memento Lady Bug
Memento Tuxedo Black
paper:
6" x 6" Base core'dinations cardstock Gem Emerald
5 1/2" x 5 1/2" core'dinations cardstock BlueBell
punch: Fiskars corner rounder
ribbon: Dashes, Dots & Checks green
stamp:
BasicGrey clear stamp - flower
