For my card I have used lots of tiny stamps, mostly from Cardio. This month at Stamping Sensations the challenge is to use Autumn colours. Penny Black at allsorts - warm autumn colours I'd like to enter it in the following challenges Anyhow back to my card, the background panel is made with brusho paints and Inkylicious leaf stamps, I have no idea what this plant is meant to be but it reminded me of something called Chinese lanterns which we used to grow as kids. However I did manage to get myself a "few" stamps, mainly from Inkylicious, watched a great demo by them, bought the stamps and now I can't remember how the cards were made, kraft card and white ink pad needed but now I've no idea what to do with them, about right for me. It was in a huge temporary building and seemed quite empty, not a lot of atmosphere. I think there would be some not very happy Exibitors there. I bought this Woodware stamp at the Harrogate Craft show, mixed feelings about the show, we went on the Friday and it was very quiet. I think this will be the last of my autumn cards for this year, saving the rest of my orange papers etc for Halloween. As I have been making my Christmas cards I have been "gutting" a lot of the bigger layers ,instead of just cutting a piece out I used the biggest of the stitched square dies so now I have quite a stack of them ready to use for other projects and used one of them on here. I saw a challenge to make a scene so thought I'd give them a go.

Anyhow to get back to my card, I bought these Hobby Art stamps along with a lot more at Port Sunlight back in October and have never used them. Last night I tried to order some craft stuff from a site I use a lot, every time I got to the point of paying couldn't get anything to work, gave up and went to bed. I did do the inserts but Ebay ! it would not let me into my account ,took me an hour and a half to order some vitamin pills !. I had my afternoon all planned, half an hour to put some inserts in a few Christmas cards I have made for my daughter, order a few things from Ebay and then write some cards, never plan your day or it will just turn into disaster.
