Autumn Colours for the tag Along Challenge

I am the hostess for the Tag along Challenge this week. 

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year, I love all the orange and browns that you get from the leaves off the trees.

I live in an area where there is a lot of farm land and a lot of the villages have Scarecrow festivals, where the villages are decorated with Scarecrow figures. So I have used a Scarcrow on my tag this week.

He is an Octopode Scarecrow from the wizard of Oz range. Octopode are Discontinuing  their range of rubber stamps and there is a sale on at the moment. Details can be found HERE.

The Gypsy in Your Soul For The Tag Along Challenge

It's layered onto a textured background that is over stamped with one of my favourite new text stamps, its the Medieval Manuscript from Crafty Individuals.

Finished with a bit of machine stitching, a coloured paper flower, a few twiddly bits and some beads.
