Autumn Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog today,

I have not written a new blog post for a while. I think it may have been a couple of months now. Time does fly when when life gets in the way. I'm now doing extra hours in work. Being at home the same time as my boyfriend I've been spending time with him. My Shifts were always in the evenings at my last job so we never got to spend much time together. It's been brilliant finally having to spend more time with him.


 My sister had her fourth baby on the kitchen floor. They're both fine and her boyfriend actually delivered the baby because the birth was so quick. They didn't even wake my niece who was asleep upstairs. Well done I say. So it was a nice surprise for her the next morning when her new brother had arrived.

 My mother also moved and settled in well. She made friends with neighbours and my sister is on a fitness regime. I'm so proud of her, she finished a 10k run on Sunday in 1 hour and 14 mins. well done to her. I probably wouldn't even make 10k to be honest I'm not a good runner. 

Anyway enough about me and let me share a card I made with an autumn theme. I made this card using Lawn Fawn critters in the woods and the tree from Critters in the burbs. The clouds I got from Paper smooches bitty bungalows stamp set. I colored my images with promarkers and stuck them to some card. I covered the card with vintage photo distress ink. I put the pad straight on the card to give it a more prominant colour. I used glossy accents to stick the images to the card. It's a really good glue and very handy to use when it's alsready on the desk.

I made the scene hoping not to overcrowd the card. i put some green glitter glue on the edge of of the tree, just to give it a little extra texture. The sentiment is from an old stamp set i had from personal impressions. i put it straight on to the card using memento tuxedo black ink. if i had used another bit of card i think it would be too over crowded and it would look a mess.

I used some pale brown card stock as my base and stuck on the scene with some foam pads. I love making scenes with my stamped images and using different stamp sets together. It's a useful way to mix up your stamp sets and to get various cards out of them. 

Thank you for stopping by today
