Let's Make a Scene - Fairy Ring - KSS

Today's Let's Make a Scene design sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps was inspired by something I saw while out walking in the neighborhood this week.  One of my neighbors had a circle of toadstools growing in their front yard. In many countries they call a circle of toadstools is a fairy ring. There are many legends surrounding a fairy ring. Some of them are quite dark and scary, but some of them suggest that finding one can actually bring you good luck. Here is a link to an interesting article about fairy rings from Garden Collage magazine.

 I have chosen a sentiment that could work for bad luck (when said sarcastically) or (said literally) for good luck.

    I love your gorgeous Spring scene here Lynn! The added toad and dragonfly are perfect! Love the grass and the tree texture along with the "ring of mushrooms"!! Thanks for sharing the meaning, I've not heard that before!

    Even though they weren't in a ring, we had tons of toadstools in the yard last week. Hopefully they'll bring good luck ring or no ring. Yours just HAVE to bring good luck because they're so pretty. The little toad is the perfect touch too!

    Lynn, your card is magical! Loved the article about fairy chains ... I wonder if it was a fairy chain that started the the Dancing Plague of 1518? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_plague_of_1518 I also wonder if the "good luck" or "bad luck" beliefs came from the type of mushrooms that were found in that region? Awesome post! :)

    Oh this card is so coo;l! I will say good luck as in Lucky, but I am sarcastic, so who knows how it will come outta my mouth!!! I absolutely love your toadstool circle, and can imagine fairies coming to bring Good Luck!
