Autumn magic

A late-in-the day post from me today, with a card I made 'just because'.

 I'm feeling a bit sore this evening, had flu and covid jabs earlier, covid arm is fine but flu arm really hurts! Have never had both jabs at the same time before, seemed like a good idea at the time but now I'm not so sure. Oh well, too late to change my mind and at least it's done! 

I was given the die to cut the card base, it was in a sealed package but no brand name so no idea of make....but it cut perfectly. I cute the base in black, an orange layer and the top layer from a piece of card I'd previously smooshed with Distress Oxides. I used my Lavinia stamps to create the scene, the toadstool houses were stamped onto a spare piece of card and cut out to add some dimension.



 Thanks for stopping by, have a pleasant evening.

Chris

A very nice shape that lends itself to your chosen stamps Chris, there are some awesome strooms about at the moment, they love this damp weather.

Snap on the double jabs, when I booked they said we'd be given the option of a flu one the same time, walked in and could see that wasn't an option, both needles were primed ready. Today it's the RSV one, new one to me but told essential.

Your "just because" card is wonderful! The smooshed Distress Oxides background and Lavinia stamps create such a lovely scene, and the dimension from the toadstool houses adds a great touch.
