Simon Says Stamp October 2013 Card Kit

I've been having a play this morning with the Simon Says Stamp October 2013 Card Kit.

Just look at those scrummy Lawn Fawn papers and I love the tree in this stamp set !

I joined in with this week's CASE Study, love the sketch over there !

For the background I used a Clearly Besotted stamp set called "Background Builder II" which I can't, at the moment, find in the Simon Says Stamp Store.  I am sure they will be getting it in stock soon !  I heat embossed the wood background with clear embossing powder as I just wanted a subtle woodgrain look.

Right, off to pick the kiddlies up from school.  They were so glad it was Friday when they woke up this morning - they seem to be so tired at the moment.  I think school must be working them hard !

Thank's for popping over and have a great Friday !
