Inspirational Sketches

The Inspirational Sketches stamp set in the new Annual Catalogue starting May 1st, 2024 is absolutely beautiful! This stamp set has these mushrooms, a bird, flowers and some nice greetings.  I am in LOVE with the Designer Paper on this card. I coloured all the mushrooms first and outlined the mushrooms with the Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend before looking at the patterns of the designer paper. This pattern was sooo perfect, don’t you think?!
