Hello everyone. The “O Christmas Tree” song inspired this CAS (clean and simple) unconventional Christmas card featuring the Mysterious Mushrooms die from the current 2024 Winter Days release. Why limit mushrooms to fall, right? 😂 They are pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s also heading over to the annual fundraiser for the Cure at Jingle Belles where $4 will be donated for every pink Christmas card linked to the gallery. Check it out, if you would like to help, too.

Started by die cutting the mushroom pieces from white cardstock and ink blending them with gradient pink or brown dye inks using blending brushes. Added spots/spores to the mushroom caps with a white Posca pen.
The mushrooms were then arranged and adhered onto a white woodgrain panel in the shape of a Christmas tree. Every tree needs a topper, so the star from Snowman House Frame was die cut from gold mirror paper. The Merry Christmas white foil banner finished off the card.
I may have taken non-traditional Christmas cards too far 🤔, but it was fun. 😂 Anyway, that does it for today. Thank you for joining me. Have a wonderful weekend.
