I need to download all my photos and will share some soon but today I just wanted to share some of the wonderful sunshine I have woken up to. Here is the UK the weather seems set fair and it really is wall to wall sunshine.
I opened my backdoor this morning to hang out the first of several loads of holiday washing (!!) and was greeted by this lovely autumnal view which I had to photograph.
Everything was soaked with morning dew here but still so beautiful.
It's great to be home, there is no better place.
My card today is a Guest Designer card for Ignacio of Nicecrane designs. It is inspired by the autumnal colours that have greeted me on my return to England and the fact that now that it is October...there is spookiness ahead at the end of the month.
The image is from the Nicrane on line digi store and you can find it here
I love this sheet and use it lots
The fab spooky die cuts are Cheery Lynn. I made a very inky background with my distress inks and stencils. The leaves are Memory box and crackled with Crackle paste. I added some Halloween remnant rubs and some spooky charms which I painted. There is even a Tim skull stamp too which I stamped onto book pages.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

HI Jane,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I agree with you, isn't it nice to live in a place where there's autumn?
I love summer and heat but coming back from southern Arizona where the temps were still in the 100' I'm very happy to see "real" trees and a change of season. Love your pictures and your Halloween master piece!!
Have a beautiful week-end Jane!
You're so lucky. You got a vacation and sunshine when you got home. I hope you had a wonderful time. October is dreary in Ohio, but your sunny pictures make me smile :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous Halloween card, Jane, love that background and all the spookiness! Good luck and thanks for joining in on the fun at Cheery Lynn Designs challenge.

Ah, there's no place like home! Jane, I love your photography, and it warms my heart to see the laundry on the line. I hang some of mine out, too, something around here is unheard of. Love seeing all the leaves starting to turn there and the autumn sun on them.
ReplyDeleteAs for your card...so fun and full of Halloween details! I love that haunted house die, and must add that to my wish list. Most of all, I love your artsy background and your falling leaves. Such beautiful colors! Well done!
