Little Mushroom Picnic And More Never Before Used Stuff

Hello, and again, welcome.  This last week has been hard.....and I mean REALLY hard.  On this last Tuesday, I found out my step-father had passed away in his sleep the night before.  So, to try and keep my mind occupied, I pulled out this little Mushroom Sprite from Aurora Wings. 

After coloring her using both prismacolor and copic markers, I very lightly stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before layering onto scrap card stock.  I then pulled out some Queen & Co. brads I've had in my stash for years, and never used, added dimension before adding some Queen & Company brads I've had in my stash for years and never used (NBUS).  I then pulled out a piece of Japanese handmade washi designer paper I'd received as a RAK a few years back to add to a scrap white card base before adding a scrap of lavender card stock for a border.  After adding dimensionals, and popping up my layered image over the border, I pulled out snippets of pink card stock to make my own embellishments using Martha Stewart butterfly trio and hydrangea trio punches.  The final touch was diamond ice stickles to highlight the flower centers.
