Autumn Trees

Hi Everyone,

I'll be back to scheduled posts as we are visiting relatives this Bank Holiday Weekend, although I do have access to a computer this time, unlike last weekend when we were living in the middle of a field!!

I'm too late to enter, but I decided to use the Waltzing mouse sketch from this week and make a card for the ColourQ challenge which is still open :)

I used my WM 'Tiny Trees' stamp set as they just happen to fit the colours well, they are as close as I could get to the Colour Q palette !
Haven't made my mind up if it looks like a moonlit scene or not ..... the yellow disc was meant to be the sun!!
It's very fitting to make an Autumn tree card as there's a definite change in the air and the mornings have that back to school feel to them. Reminds me of going back with new enthusiasm, new uniform and shoes and most important a new pencil case full of new pens etc ... I'm still a sucker for a stationary shop now :0) Lol

Catch you again tomorrow with another card that isn't too late for the challenge!!!
Thanks for looking , bye X
