The theme is always outside, country, and any time of year. There are always 3 images sponsored by QKR Stampede that can be a random prize if you submit your country inspired card!
In this month's post this grand bull is relaxing in the pasture with his feathered friends! I am using the QKR Stampede bull image image which I colored with various alcohol makers and fussy cut him out. I added some outdoor sticker elements that I had in my stash from Creative Memories. The birds come from a retired Stampin Up set called Quite Curvy. I used deckled edge dies from Stampin up and used cardstock called Early Espresso and Crumb Cake. I also used some paper scraps and yarn for a rustic touch from my stash to complete this card.

I really enjoy creating with mushrooms and fairies, especially in the spring as nature starts to come alive!
I created these cards with the My Creative Time Mushrooms Stamps and Dies set. I used the mushroom die and snail, clouds, and the sentiment. For Card #1, I used a scalloped background die also comes from MCT. The cute little fairies are from an Art Impressions stamp set call Fairy Cubbies. I used scrap papers and an old Bitty Scrap Pad for my papers. Colored everything with various alcohol markers.

Card #2
I simply loved using the mushroom dies and snails from MCT along with the retired Daisy Garden Stamp from Stampin Up for this card. I used a Stampin up color called Calypso Coral to stamp directly on the background patterned paper. I used a patterned paper from my stash in the background as well as one for the mushroom base, and a different one for the top portion. I added a vellum oval, some foliage using dies, a piece of vellum boarder, twine, and a button! I Love these colors together so much!
If you would like to see more of how this and some other mushroom inspired cards came together, check out the video below!
