Introducing the amazing autumn Visible Image stamp release

  Good morning it's time for my fortnightly blogged Visible Image design team post. Today I could not be more excited as I am able to share my first make with the brand new autumn release! OMGoodness you are going to love them. They are so "me" and there is something for everyone from cute hedgehogs (or hedgepigs as I have always called them!) a squirrel with acorns to positive and inspiring words to toadstools, mini stamps and most exciting a backing stamp for Artist trading cards! Wow. Do check them all out on their website here. Pre release orders are being taken now and the worldwide release date is 27th August. I have been sharing lots of sneak peeks of my makes over on Instagram.

I have made samples with the all the new release and it was a really tough call for me to chose just 1 for today but chose I had to and I went with one of the 3 new Nature sets; 

Totally toadstools.

 I have a real "thing" about all things fungi (plus mermaids, strawberries, hedgehogs, pigs, seashells and the Man in the Moon, yes I know I am mad!) and I have wanted Mark, aka Mr Visible Image to design a fungi set for a long time. I was so delighted to see it come to life and it really is everything I love about toadstools. The beautiful nature sentiment, written by Helen (Mrs Visible Image), as always works perfectly. 

This is what I got up to;

I wanted to make a really organic, fungi inspired background. There is nothing better for this than Yupo and alcohol inks, so that's what I did. I got out my inks and dripped...

and dropped...

and mixed 

and blended until I had achieved the organic fungi inspired background I wanted. 

I stamped lots of the toadstools onto different offcuts of inked card and cut them out. Then I chose the ones I wanted to use.

I added some white gel pen and then decoupaged them (which you will see in the finished photos)

I decided I wanted more of a 3D card so I cut out the centre of my Yupo

and backed it with another piece of yellow inked card. I stamped some of the foliage inside. I then added some 3D foam tape and stuck it under the Yupo. 

I also cut an upstand from inky card and repeat stamped some more of the foliage, cutting around some and also cutting one piece out to layer up with and to add depth. 

I then assembled my focal, adding the toadstools, which I decoupaged.

finally adding the wonderful nature sentiment at the base. 

I stuck the focal in place and matted and layered my card. 

Here it is;

and 1 final shot.

I really do adore this set and I have so many plans for future makes using it too. It really is a must have in your crafting stash and works so well with the new hedgehog and squirrel sets too.  You will find all the new release stamps here.
