Hello Crafty Friends,
Autumn is the time of mushrooms and walks in the forest. Come with me to admire nature. I chose four beautiful stencils to represent this scene in my Art Journal, TCW870 Fir Branch, TCW874 Poppy Grid, TCW862 Maidenhair Fern, TCW578Whimsical Shrooms.
***THE CRAFTER’S WORKSHOP PROVIDED ME SOME PRODUCTS TO CREATE THIS PROJECT.THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE SOLELY MY OWN.***

I start by making my background with Distress Inks.

Then, I used TCW874 Poppy Grid with a darker Distress ink color.

I added some texture with TCW870 Fir Branch, TCW862 Maidenhair and TCW9044 Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste.

When it is dry, I added some colors on the modelling paste with watercolor paints.

I added my image that I found on Pinterest, a beautiful squirrel.

I always stick my images with TCW9045 Matte Gel Medium, it is the perfect product for that. If I want a little more light on my images, I use TCW9050 Gel Medium Gloss.
I made my mushrooms with TCW578 Whimsical Shrooms and TCW9044 Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste on a watercolor paper. When it was dry, I colored them with watercolor and markers.

I arrange and I adhere my mushrooms in the bottom of my page.
