I made this card for the girls on a little tiny forum I've belonged to now for five years or so. Last week I received the most beautiful bouquet of flowers- rich autumn colours and foliage, burnt orange coloured roses, tawny and gold freesias. When it came to lifting the flowers out of the box style carrying case there were chocolates underneath! :0)))) Thank you Chris for organising such a wonderful cheery up suprise and to the girls at Chrysalis xx. Over the past few months I've received some gorgeous cheery-up pressies and cards from the girls - makes the day a happier one thats for sure.
Thanks too go to my online friend Lottie who recently sent me the most beautifully made 'Papillon' bag which is in constant use.
The main image ( CI-225 ) and Thank You is by Crafty Individuals and available here. The background text is by a new American company called Rogue Redhead Designs but unfortunately the RRD stamps are not yet avaiable here in the UK, just to those from the States.
The background branches behind the owl were created by lightly sponging ink though a stencil.
I'm entering this little guy into the Lots to Do challenge which this week has the theme of Autumnal Colours.
