This card was a vision realized. I had watched Nichol Spohr (yes, I watch her a lot, if you haven’t checked out her cards you need to visit her blog), and she was making a bunch of these framed cards with popped up elements. Now I will admit, mine ended up more popped up than I think I had intended, but fortunately it was being hand delivered, so not a concern.
I used the nested arches dies from Prism Studios, and then created this fabulous forest floor mushroom scene using a combination of the Concord & 9th Mushroom Medley dies and the Simon Says Stamp/CZ Design Oh Shitake stamps and dies.
I am absolutely in love with how this turned out, and will definitely be making more – experimenting with the “pop” to try and get it less bulky for mailing.
