It's been one of those sleepless nights so the best thing to do is craft. I wanted to make a tag to play along with Tag-along challenge and their theme is Autumn. Right up my street.
I dug out some old Visible Image stamps I haven't used for a while - Nuts About Squirrels and Totally Toadstools. I think that toadstool is one of my favourite fungi stamps!
I created my background using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides and Frayed Burlap with a touch of Black Soot and Walnut Stain around the edges. I then stamped the larger toadstool and coloured it in. I then masked it off and added some extra mushrooms around the base. I stamped the log and added the small squirrel and an extra squirrel on top of the toadstool. I included some of the lovely acorns at the top of the tag.
Extra stamping came from Tracy Evans with the ants (yuk I hate them but thought they would go well here ) and some background word stamping. The Sentiment came from Waffle Flower - Fall Greetings set.
I'm adding this into the following:
Tag Along - Autumn
Creative Fingers - AG
Outlawz Festive Friday - Autumn
Craft Rockets - Autumn
Ellibelle - From the Garden
Critter Crazy - AG
We should arrange a crafty get together Fiona, also been awake since silly o'clock. Lovely contrasts of colour on your tag giving a real feel of Autumn days, many thanks for joining us at Tag-Along (and ATC's) October challenge.

Such a beautiful scene for your tag Fiona and reminds me of all the squirrels in my garden getting ready for the upcoming season. The ants are a great finishing touch! So nice to see you at my Garden Party this time, thanks for joining in!
