Will tell you about the post in a minute let me tell you what I just had delivered!!!! Excitement, excitement.

Sitting here doing my post for Fashionable Stamping Challenges, which by the way is Shades Of Autumn/Fall and Larry (my postman) parked outside my craft room.

Have to explain something about where I live in Ireland … in the sticks/back of beyond basically, so we don’t have conventional postman, shank’s pony, riding on their bikes. We have a postman in a van. Anyway if I happen to be in my craft room … which is at the back of the bungalow … and I see Larry pull up that only means one thing ……. crafting goodies … yayyyyy!!!!!

I borrowed an old Sizzix die from Margaret called Picket Fence which I needed desperately … you know the feeling, so I decided to get my own and I found one on e-bay … that came. Next Anna Griffin was on QVC last week and I ordered her beautiful stamp collection, housed in a binder … that came. But the biggest surprise of all was a new Big Bite Crop-A-Dile. My little treasure of him in doors bought me a new one because my other has never really worked properly since I bought it. Had a teensy little stamping of the feet the other day because I went to use it, forgetting it didn’t work.

What a gorgeous start to the day. Huge big kisses and a thank you sweetie pie.

Card what card just want to play with all my goodies.

Gave her a little scarf as the outfit she is wearing is just to summery and I thought she might be cold seeing as how it’s Autumn … ha ha.

Made a large tag and did all my background stamping, glimmer misting, micro beading plus adding of a skeleton leaf before I stitched onto a DL card. Used the leaf pattern for the stitching which I though was quite appropriate for Autumn.

Took a close up of the flower because the singed petals look better.
What a laugh that was, sprayed Dylusions Squeezed Orange onto the flower but OMG it was sooooo bright. So whilst still wet I decided to use the heat gun hoping it would tone down a bit when dry. This was the laugh part everything started to burn … what idiot forgot she had used netting as part of the flower … yep it started to burn. Panic over and everything turned out OK, not only did it tone down the flower with those singed edges but it scrunched up without me having to do it.
