Happy Sunday everyone I hope that your weekend is going well.
Its still very hot here and its been around 35C a few times this week but the evenings are definitely cooling off a little quicker, the mornings are feeling fresher for a little longer and fingers crossed we may see some rain soon.
The other signs that Summer is coming to an end are the changing colours around our garden and on the surrounding mountains as the leaves start to take on the autumn colours.
For my first Autumnal card of the year I've used Bentley with some flowers from the Bentley Rain or Shine collection.
I love this cute little bear and he's perfect for so many different occasions - today I decided to make a thank you card.
The green leafy paper that I have used in the background to form a window and the small Thankyou sentiment are from the Craftwork Cards Hedgerow collection
Behind the aperture I have created some rolling hills and a cloudy sky stencilled using distress inks and stencils from Lawn Fawn.
I created an alcohol ink panel some time ago using a piece of glossy photo paper ( I couldn't find my Yupo paper but this worked really well) and thought this would be perfect to use to die cut leaves using a Crafters Companion leaf die for the branch
I hope that you like my card today ๐
Hasta luego ๐
Enjoy the rest of your day !
