Autumn twinchies

Autumn is fast approaching, although today has been pleasantly warm and sunny at times, so perhaps we can hang on to summer for a little while longer ... in fact today was better than many days during August.

Anyway, the theme for the current twinchies (2" x 2") swap on BF forum is 'autumn'. As there are ten people in the swap, I needed to make ten twinchies.

I've used a Hero Arts stamp that I love - it's one I've had for ages - I bought it second hand, so it has been well used, both by its former owner and by me.

I stamped with TH brushed corduroy distress ink and then coloured by dabbing distress inks on my crafting mat, picking up with a water brush. I used these distress inks: spiced marmalade, shabby shutters, worn lipstick and mustard seed.
