'Celebrate' 

I decided to create a card this month … 
Autumn is always a busy time in my garden, and one of my very favourite times of the year.
 In April the first golden leaves appear on the deciduous trees, and It’s always a wonderful pleasure for me to drag my feet through the fallen leaves that carpet parts of my garden.
I adore watching  my little black kitten Raven , frollicking  and playing with delight .
This card reminds me of nature with the divine ‘Ode to a Summer’s day collection ‘.
PROCESS
The papers are all mix and match so this card is a great way to utilise all your left over ‘scraps’ .
I used various Spellbinder die cuts – fancy tags and nested pennants, added some die cut leaves and a beautiful lacy bloom..
All on a base of ‘Ode to a Summers Day collection’.
When completed, I adhered this to pale green bazzill, toning in with the papers
Inside  I added some stamping, masking  and Tim Holtz tissue tape .
The two die cuts for the leaves are –
Cottage cutz/ leafy foliage ( available from Megs Garden )
Memory Box /Cottage leaf

 banner and bloom 
a closie of the banner .

Thanks for popping by and do have a look at the website and look at all the beautiful papers and embellies … they are perfect for cards and tags … I give
my cards with a gift and many of my friends say the card is a gift in itself …. That warms my heart .
