Autumn Colours and Shrooms

Morning and time for the mid month inspiration for the ATG/Autumn colours challenge at .

Stamping Sensations

Now I have a confession to make-I completely lost track of the days and was in bed all day Wednesday as unwell-so this was a quick card  and included another almost bodge up!!!

Call myself a crafter???  I have loads of cards in draft as back ups but none with stamping!!!

Anyway onto my card I glued a strip of p, paper from CraftOClock down the left hand side, then tried to be clever and stamp an image from AALL&Create across the paper and cardstock, but it left a gap between the paper and card so I had to stamp another piece of card and match up, then decided just to colour the side piece, the border scribble stamp is from  Creative Expressions.



PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Love your layout Carol,the contrast between the stamping on a background paper and the coloured stamping on the white card is beautiful

I love the way you designed this Carol, it looks great, you didn't 'try' to be clever, you were clever and it worked.
I hope you feel better now, lots going round so take care. xx

Even with a rushed and slightly "bodge up" approach, your card turned out great! Love the clever solution to the stamping gap, and the border scribble stamp from Creative Expressions adds a lovely touch. Hope you're feeling better now!
