two week challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.  Amy has chosen

I hope you pop over to the blog to check the details

and of course to see the inspiration from the design team.

the card with several stamps from the set I used.

Using a number of DIs in autumnal colours I blended 

them on an A5 sheet of white card, Sprayed with water, dried

then more ink applied. I then randomly stamped all of the stamps, 

several times from the set by #Sheena Douglass -
