Further Festive Fungi

 A few days ago, I shared some Christmas cards that Mark had asked me to make for his foraging friends. Today I have another for you - actually it is one of a pair of identical ones. I was printing a background big enough for two cards and it's as easy to print two copies of a digi as one, so it made sense to make two. 


I wanted a digi of morel mushrooms, and found this lovely one at Power Poppy. The only snag is, they are sprouting from a bed of very un-Christmassy violets. However by colouring the violets red to blend into the background and covering them with die cut poinsettias, I think I managed to conceal them! 

The background is from Joanna Sheen's "Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady" CD and for a bit of variety I printed it onto thin printable acetate (I got mine from Create and Craft about 750 years ago - to ease its journey through the printer, the printing side is matte and there is a narrow paper strip along the leading edge for the printer to grab hold of). 

Finally the sentiment, which makes me giggle every time I see it and is the reason the mushrooms had to be morels. I generated this with my Dymo electronic label maker, my new favourite toy. 

I am sharing this with

    Lovely card Jane and a clever cover-up with the poinsettia. Sounds like it will be a perfect card for one of Mark's friends. xx

    Bravo for thinking up that sentiment, of course you needed to make a few more! Have fun with your new toy, xoxo

    Lovely card Jane. Great way to disguise the flowers that you didn't want on the card. I also learnt something from your card as I had never heard of Morel Mushrooms before. Thank you for entering the Use A Stocking Challenge at CHNC.
