Autumn Leaves

I'm so pleased you liked the nappy cake I posted on Monday.  It was so much fun to make!  Back to cards today.  Chrissie and Mandi at Less is More are looking for CAS cards featuring 'masking' this week.  This is one of those challenges which you immediately think is going to be simple, but then you struggle to think of anything original!

This is what I came up with, using a couple of stamps from the wonderfully versatile Autumn Days stamp set.

It was very simply to make.  I started by cutting a shape from scrap paper to mask most of the card stock before stamping with the tiny leaf.  I used a whole range of autumnal colours because I wanted the hill to pop out!  I then coloured the pheasant in Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Garden Green and Early Espresso and stamped him onto the hill, making sure he was in the right place using my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Here's a close up:

Again, no interesting titbit to share with you from my own life, so here is a video of a floppy disk drive (remember those?) but not as you know it...
