Good morning! I'm fresh back from a wonderful 'extra' holiday in the depths of Wiltshire. Life has been a bit stressful one way or another over the last few months so we decided to get away for a few days and relax... relax we certainly did! We were very fortunate in that the 'cottage' we rented was absolutely gorgeous and surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. The end-of-autumn colours were amazing! It didn't matter that the weather turned colder and wetter, we could walk our dog, explore the surroundings and return to warmth and comfort - heaven!
My card is inspired by the wonderful colours and sights we enjoyed, the trees, bracken and so many birds - we even saw a red kite! The lovely image is this month's freebie from The East Wind (thank you!), coloured with copics. The die cut trees are Memory Box...so reminiscent of the beautiful fir trees in the woodlands surrounding our cottage! I added some tiny die cut birds (also MB) and the tag is recycled!
Thanks for visiting
Chris

This is absolutely gorgeous Chris! Love it!
Glad you had a lovely trip away! hubby just booked us a week at the seaside for May next year. We're all quite excited, as it'll be our first ever real holiday (not counting a 2-week trip to an awful resort in Spain with ALL the inlaws... I'm still trying to recover from that one, and it was 10 years ago, lol). Is it May yet? x
Stunning card, fantastic colours and the colouring is second to none.
Funny was just thinking about you today and wondering if you were ok, glad it was a holiday.
