The challenge at Sunday postcard art this week is Mushrooms / Toadstools. I wanted to do something closely aligned with the brief, since my muse went on a tangent for the last challenge I entered!
I think I'm in auto-experimentation mode at the moment... today's experiment :-

| Are those lights in the forest or eyes? |
Using 300sgm card stock I sprayed through a stencil with Dylusions Vibrant Turquoise and then removing the stencil I sprayed again with cut grass. After all of the other layers the stencil is almost invisible. Using Archival ink in Sap Green I stamped leaves around both the left and right hand sides (also impossible to see now). Next I placed drops of Daler Rowney liquid acrylic in Pearlescent white and sprayed it with an airbrush.
The toadstool stamp is from Dyan Reavely and is stamped on 300gsm card stock and coloured with Inktensils. After adhering the toadstools to the background I outlined them with nautical blue charcoal and then smooshed that with a paper stump.
I applied some Dew Drops in 'Mint Chocolate' to the background and then stamped over everything with a small script stamp and a cross hatch stamp using Archival French Ultramarine. The piece was finished using a 'dream' stamp using StayzOn ink
