Here at Last

It is hard to believe l have not been here for so long, my last post was October 2018. I only made one birthday card last year and not a single christmas card. I have lost all confidence in my craft room and decided it is time l got back in there as my stash is just gathering dust.
 I have gone for a clean and simple card to get me started, using this gorgeous Penny Black stamp designed by Mo Manning.

So....last week we had autumn and this week l have jumped a season to winter, l started out by heat embossing the tree in white then played around with my inks. Finally stamping the deer, birds, foliage and sentiment. I wanted to do my moon a bit different so went for a reddish colour. We get the most amazing night skies here and as l live out in the country the stars are just fantastic.

I know one or two of you may be wondering what has this to do with autumn..... Acorns are plentiful and dropping and the beautiful leaves are changing colour which l have tried to achieve here. I spent a good few hours colouring and blending this with my neglected prisma pencils and have decided not to make a card with it but will look for a frame to put in the childrens room.
