Mushrooms and Flowers Color Challenge

Hi everyone! May's challenge is using Color swatch courtesy of Design Seeds®) Warm Escape. I have numbered the colors on the swatches, below.


Mushrooms seemed appropriate for this time of year. Out here in Boise, Idaho, it usually rains quite a bit in the Spring, leaving the lawn very damp. Thus, an excellent venue for mushrooms to pop up. This set is Nature Stamp Set 467. 

I went to the paint section of Walmart and found all the colors in paint chips. But, I did discover that the paint chips can be heat embossed with zero trouble. The bad news is - I ended up fussy cutting around each of the leaves and flowers.Blossoms Spellbiner's Combo Set Stamp Set 429

  5. Love the softness of the mushrooms - the embossing powder and the lovely colors make them seem really dimensional.... the lattice with the flowers is beautiful too
