FQCB Theme #25 is Toads and/or Frogs and/or Mushrooms (Toadstools) starting 28 March 2023 AND DT Call

 Howdy! Yee-haw! Welcome to the farm!--

FarmQuest Challenge Blog

Theme #25 requires Toads/Frogs and/or Mushrooms (Toadstools)

In the USA, mushrooms and toadstools get used interchangeably. Not sure about other parts of the world. You can have edible ones or poisonous ones (for human consumption)...don't think that matters for paper-crafting however!?!! Ha!

Competition starts at 12:30am CST or 6:30am UK on March 28, 2023 and ends at the same times on April 13, 2023.

Each participant can enter up to 3 new themed entries per challenge. Read the blog's side bar for the acceptable formats which gives readers lots of creative possibilities to share with us!

Awesome image for this challenge, Diane!! The coloring is spectacular! Lots of details and shading! You've created terrific rural springtime woods/marsh finds on your card!

[theme #25 requirements: frog AND toad]

NanaConnie's card is such a delight! She says the image is a coloring page! She used Promarkers to color-fill the image! Her bowmaker helped make Toad very dapper! Two colors of burlap help to complete the charming encouragement card!

[theme #25 elements: mushrooms in both patterned cardstocks; the word 'fungi' for the pun sentiment]

My brain started going into high gear to come up with a clever sentiment and then EUREKA!!! I remembered that I could use "fungi" for 'fun guy'!!! Inside it is simply stamped with "Happy Birthday".
