Mushrooms. The generic version (aka, plain) is known as a white
button mushroom, but these mushrooms can be anything but simple and you get to
decide. Also known as fungi, they have such lovely parts, the cap, the stem, and
the gills. Each one has a story and a beauty of its own.
Tags collaged with paint, ink, and texture paste. |
Debi Adams created some to be whimsical and fun and others upright,
stoic and perhaps a bit realistic. A few have revealed their undersides (for
shame).
Mushroom Gills, S736, is a 6" x6" stencil. |
Truly this collection is more of a "tossed salad” of sorts with
all types of mushrooms thrown in the lot which allows them to be interpreted in
a myriad of ways.

The card maker in Debi definitely wanted to have the key elements
available and they are in the ATC collection. There are backgrounds, though not
all mushrooms, definitely some statement pieces, and a sprinkling of
sentiments.

As for the application, Debi designed them to go in any artistic
direction.
She says, "I can see them being abstract
or done with a mid-century flair, watercolored, layered, gelli printed, really
anything the mind can dream up."

"So, there you have it. Oh, but wait, you want to know why? Hmmm.
I just like them. They say happy, weird, quirky, organic. I love their colorings, dimensionality,
ruffles, curves and the fact that they are different. Kind of like all of us."
You can find these stencils by clicking on any picture or right here.
