do more than exist - ATC & Card

 Good morning!  I spent the entire day in my craft room yesterday and it was so soothing. Hubby went and played disc golf all day and grabbed us a pizza for dinner, such a nice relaxing day!

I would like to enter my ATC here into the following challenges:

ATC Around the World #141- Mushrooms

Tag-alongs and ATC's - AG/Optional Circles

Kreativ-Tanten Challenge #117 - Forest

Classic Design Challenge - AG/Optional Use Die Cuts

I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper that I had already colored with some Lindy's Magicals and die cut an ATC with the Artist Trading Card Creative Cut from Mama Elephant. I did some script stamping (Hero Arts Mixed Textures stamp set) on it and sponged the edges with black. I then die cut some fern leaves (mushroom & leaf dies from Hero Arts Mushrooms & Ferns Fancy Dies set) from the same paper. I die cut the mushrooms from some more scraps and colored them with my ink blending brush and some Distress Inks. I attached everything with adhesive and used foam tape on the last mushroom.

Then I turned the ATC into a card that I'd like to enter into the:

Just Add Ink #793 - Color & Inspiration

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

A Cut Above September - Anything Goes (with die cuts)

Die Cut Divas - Recycle, Reuse, & Repurpose (recylced scraps of watercolor paper for ATC & leaves)

Creative Inspiration #42 - Anything Goes

I applied the same color Lindy's Magicals (Vintage Vines from the Garden Chronicles set) to a new piece of watercolor paper and then stamped more of the stamps from the Mixed Textures set all over it. I layered a piece of black cardstock that I had left over from another project under the ATC, then added a little text sticker from a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker book. Peace.
