Crisp autumn sunshine

As I walked down to Dotty's Teahouse on Friday with the first of my Christmas cards I am selling I wore my gloves and scarf for the first time this year. The temperature has finally dropped and the trees are now beginning to shed their leaves. I marvelled at the glorious colours in them, lit up by the sunshine.

What is there not to love about Mother Nature on a day like this?

This is Honeywood, our local museum which looks out onto the ponds.

The fallen leaves are gorgeous, crisp and crunchy underfoot. I am very lucky to have such a pretty walk and even though we have lived here for 34 years I see something different every single time.

My card today is another Christmas card. I decided to design using  falling snowflakes rather than leaves. I also wanted to catch up with some challenges including my #5 Funkie Junkie card.

I used one of my Visible Image snowflake stamps to stamp in silver metallic ink and then die cut snowflakes revealing an embossed red background. The little tags are Lili of the Valley.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

The funkie junkie 12 tags of Christmas #6 
If you would like to play along with Linda's challenge you can see all the rules here. There are some great prizes for the winners too. The challenge is generously sponsored by The Funkie Junkie Boutique Linda shares a tag each week and you just have to take something from it and make something Christmas themed. I have always chosen to make cards and it's a great way to make 12 very unique cards for Christmas.
You can also combine it with any other challenges...so that is just what I did.
This is her card for week 6 here. I took the red colour,snowflakes and cut outs to use for some of the inspiration in my design
