Has anyone noticed that the leaves on the trees are slowly changing into an array of vibrant earth tones, swaying on the trees as if to sing a song.
I do love this time of the year although my allergies do rise. Living in Texas I don't get to see much of the beauty of Autumn, but a trip to North Carolina (home) erases all the pollution and noise of the city and rewards me with clean crisp air, tree-lined roads that curve in and out.
Autumn announces its arrival with cleaner air or at least it seems to be cleaner. I love the cool mornings without the humidity and the evenings are perfect for a cup of tea. This is the time of year when you let the outside air inside and if I were home (in N.C.) I would wash my linen and hang it out to dry rather than use a dryer. Nothing better than falling asleep on fresh cool sheets.
Yep this is the time of year when I really start to miss home, but fortunately I can visit for a week or two. here and there.
To celebrate this season I do have a simple card to share and I promise this post will be a short one.
I used My Mind's Eye designer paper and Bazzil card-stock to create this card. The image is a really old digital image I purchased a long time ago so I am not sure where I got it.
I used Copic markers to color the image, and Recollections/Prima floral embellishments. I used Spellbinder dies and Martha Stewart punches to create the waved edge, the stitched oval and the scalloped oval. Lastly, I added ribbon, eyelets and a sentiment to finish this card at 5.5 x 5.5.
