The canvas is wrapped in Aida cloth, which is woven and produces tiny holes that needles can easily go through. I didn't cross stitch on it. I first drew my mushrooms with pencil. After using acrylic paint to color my scene, I used a plain stitch to outline the fungi.
After covering up the painted parts, I used glimmer mists to spray the sky blue and the earth green. I hot glued my two gnome buttons to finish off my project. So, sewing project or mixed media? I think I can safely say BOTH!

Wow, that's wonderful! Great mixing technique. The background itself is so interesting and beautiful. Your creation of mushrooms is just perfect. The sewing makes the mushrooms look so great. And the little gnomes are the absolute highlight.
It really looks fantastic.
Thank you for sharing this great project with the Everybody-Art Challenge.
