Feeling seasonal!

Well the snow has finally reached the south of England. Here is one of our squirrels running through it to get to the feeding table. I wish I could put a video on of the way they are bouncing, it is hilarious!!

I have had quite a few cards to make lately. Last week I received an order from a Canadian company Quietfire Design. I have been wanting some of Suzanne's beautiful calligraphy stamps for some time and finally got around to ordering them. It was my Mum's birthday this week and I made a card using this beautiful quote from Walt Whitman on a nestie shape edged with Caramel Adirondack dye ink and Vintage photo Distress Ink and a couple of copper brads. I mounted it onto a piece of Masterboard stamping I did ages ago. I used a whole A2 sheet of brown card from Paperchase and overstamped with leaves in brown and gold. I sprayed the whole thing with Autumn Leaves glimmer mist it has been so useful for several cards. I must try and get some more of that card when I am in London next week as it is a perfect colour for this kind of work. For this card I added some copper embossed leaves which used the same stamp, painted with H2O paints and a piece of brown ribbon.  



We have definitely left autumn behind now though! I am off to make a pot of veggie stew and dumplings later!

Whatever you are doing keep warm!
