Toadstools

Hi Everyone,

Well the boys are now back at school.

While it is lovely for the quiet days, this term has already raised a lot of issues my little one has at school.  He used to love school but now only goes 'because he has too'.  It is just heartbreaking.

I am hoping this weekend he can relax and that next week is better for him.

So for this card, I created the background earlier in the week waiting for my new Gorjuss stamps to arrive.

So yesterday, I could not wait any longer as I needed to get it done and just as I finished, my new stamps arrived.  Isn't that always the way, lol.

So for today's inspiration I have used an older stamp 'Toadstools' (link below).

Ingredients:

Stamp:  Toadstools

Medium:  Copic Markers
