An Autumn View

You know how we Brits are know for our conversations about the weather.   We are never at a loss for something to say to a stranger Sun, Rain, Hot or Cold we always have an opener.  So I was not a loss today when someone started telling me how changeable it is just now and how you just don't know how to dress!  All that was required of me was a smile a nod and a soft yes in agreement.

Well here we are getting full on Autumn with sun, rain, wind and sun.  Harley on the other hand is just enjoy chasing leaves blowing around and can be seen proudly strutting off with a captured leaf in his mouth.  Somehow it all inspired this postcard.


Not original I'm sure but having seeded itself in my brain it had to be completed.  Leaf die used in a scrap of card to make a mask.  Mask attached over a 6" x 4" postcard blank.  Chocolate Baroque bare Tree stamped through the mask in Adirondack Potting Soil.  Distress inks, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Barn Door and Vintage Photo blended over the mask to build layers of autumnal colour.  It all looked a little lost all on it's own, but the wonderful Emily Brontë quote from a magazine set gave it purpose.  Sorry about the photograph it was taken under artificial light as so many have to be at this time of year.

Challenges I'd like to share this with
