Good morning, a quick post from me as I'm sooo busy this weekend! It's our annual non-firework-rent- a -noisy- crowd-party tonight! We invite a load of friends round to distract Mathilda from the horrible bangs and crashes of the fireworks! Have to admit she is nowhere near as frightened as her predecessor- our beloved Maisie was absolutely petrified and I spent many a bonfire night under the table...encased in a blanket...with a trembling and horrified Great Dane! Mathilda is made of sterner stuff, we encourage her to bark and get excited rather than to be frightened, and having a crowd around really seems to help! I feel so sorry for the animals this time of year especially when some of the fireworks are so loud...makes me jump, goodness knows how they feel! Thank goodness for understanding friends!
Anyway...back to the card....this month's challenge at Crafty Calendar is sponsored by Crafty Ribbons and Lawn Fawn, the theme is Autumn Colours. The image I used is from Digistamps Atelier. Colouring medium is Copics. the leaves are stamped and die cut using a magazine freebie, papers were a freebie too (different magazine!)and again colored with Copics, stamped sentiment is Lawn Fawn. Hope you'll find the time to play along with us this month, just click here to see what my lovely teamies have created to inspire you, and to add your own beautiful creation.
Have a fabulous weekend, and for those of you celebrating Guy Fawkes night in the UK...stay safe and look after your pets!

Wow Chris what a beautiful Autumnal creation, wow, your colouring of the image is top notch, the embellishments and card design are brilliant, a perfect depiction of Autumn at it's best. I understand completely about the fireworks and how the noise upsets the animals, my little Jess never leaves my side when they start going off, I often think about all the animals that are alone or outside at this time of year they must be totally petrified. Have a good weekend

Beautiful card, fabulous colouring and love the leaf display.
Although I have no animals I really do feel sorry for them on this night and it is bad enough for them for one night but nowadays it seem to go on for over a week.
Hope all went well.

FABulous Autumn colours Chris and lots of pretty embellishments. Sometime the freebies we get to get used a lot..some...never.
We've had dogs that have gone ballistic over fireworks..Lucky for us Poppy doesn't mind at all!

Hi Chris,
what a very wonderful card, and that image is so super too.
You have coloured it perfectly as usual.
Well I know what you mean about the fireworks.
I don't have a dog, but my DH has a workshop in the garden shed, and he gets very frustrated by the fireworks and they make him jump so much.
They seem to be getting a lot louder these days.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
