Terrific Toadstool Punch for As You See It Challenge #343

We've rolled around again to our Speed Stamping Challenge, where you have to make a card in under 10 minutes! Team member, Joanne, came up with the idea to use Punches as the theme for our cards, and I must say, it was a brilliant one! I don't have a ton of up-to-date punches, but I did get one from the Jan/Apr. Mini Catalogue and that was the Toadstool punch that coordinates with the Terrific Toadstool stamp set! The only problem is that the images are small and need to be stamped first, which is a little iffy for a speed challenge! Here is the Challenge Banner:

 I decided to use all 2024-2026 In Colours for my mushrooms, except for the stems, which I stamped in Crumb Cake. I started out trying to stamp my pieces in the exact placement needed for the punch, so I could punch all three out at once, then realized what a waste of time that was, and punched single images after that. 

• On a Petunia Pop base I added a Pretty in Pink matte, rounding off the corners of the panel.
• On a piece of Basic White, 3 3/4" x 5", I stamped the grassy piece in Shy Shamrock ink and added the sentiment below it, in Peach Pie. I stamped two mushroom stems in Crumb Cake. The larger one needed to be cut away at the top using a craft knife, so the mushroom cap could fit underneath. The three small mushroom caps were stamped in Pretty in Pink.
• I stamped the two mushroom caps and medium stem separately on the paper and used the punch to punch them out. I glued on the large mushroom cap, slipping it under the cut end. I added a glue dot under the end of the stem to keep it in place. 
• I glued the smaller stem to the smaller cap and added dimensionals to the backs, and added them to the card front.
• I rounded the corners and adhered it to the bottom layers.

At the end, it took me 9 min and 50 sec. to complete!

I'm counting down here so this shows 10 sec left, which means I took 10 m 50 s to finish.
