Mushroom Birthday Card

Thanks for joining us for 
DD's Crafts Fabulous 50 Birthday Blog Hop!!

If you just came from Julie the  Cricut Chick's blog (cricutchick.com) you are in the right place... if not, please head over to Debbie's blog at craftydeb-ddscrafts.blogspot.com to start at the beginning.

Today I have another shaped card to share! :)
This adorable mushroom is from Cindy Lou. I sized the shadow layer to 5 1/2" and welded two shapes together to form the card base. It will fit into a standard A2 envelope, so no extra postage required. 

All the paper is from my scrap bin but most is Bazzill cardstock. I inked all the layers with royal blue ink and a finger dauber. I love how much dimension inking adds to a card. 

I added five silver brads to the mushroom stem and a Scrappy Mom's Stamp for the birthday sentiment. I drew the faux stitches on using my white Gelly Roll gel pen.

I didn't have this sentiment, so I had to create it myself. Using Honey Script, I added the inside sentiment that reads "Happy Birthday to a real Fungi!" I love it! :)

I've seen that sentiment before and it's cute but then again I love puns. I agree about the inking, too. It adds so much.
