Robin with Holly

A pleasant morning with a definite hint of autumn, we missed the high winds and rain last night so it's not too cold.
 Another Christmas card today one which features one of my favourite birds a robin.

The stamp is from Stampendous and I coloured it with Promarkers the holly stamp comes with the set as well as 2 other birds.A variety of embossing folders and a doily die cut completed the card.

Autumn

My cards today reflect what, autumn means  to me, the warm colours and lazier days, sitting at the fire at night and feeling cosy.
 I have 2 cards to share , total opposites in terms of colour and design but both are autumnal.
The above card has the warm colours which I love and the card below a lazy image, enjoying a rest outside before winter arrives.

Snow is Falling

Another Christmas card to add to the box  it's starting to fill quite nicely now. It's been lovely weather here for the past 4 weeks, and we are having some much needed rain this afternoon, not too heavy though and hopefully will give the ground a good soaking.

James stamp and sentiments from Lili of the Valley James coloured with Promarkers.

Autumn Colours

It's time for a new challenge at CD Sunday and Pauline has chosen "Shades of Autumn" this fortnight Don't forget.to use something from a CD somewhere, however small, in the making of your card or project and give the CD credit.
This adorable fox is from the Jayne Netley Mayhew Digistamps CD Rom and the papers from a Tonic Christmas pad, I loved the colours and thought they would be perfect for an autumn card.
Pop over to the challenge blog and check out the DT Inspiration.
