What a great comeback!

Woo Hoo! I've just gone over to the LOTV challenge blog to find this weeks theme to find out that I won last weeks challenge - two stamps of my choice, as we say up North - "I'm chuffed to bits" :o) Right then, decisions, decisions, which stamps to choose?
This weeks theme is 'Seasons'. I've gone with my favourite - Autumn, that time of year when summer is over (did it ever begin) and the weather is turning, but you get some great warm days, the leaves have dropped and the ground is awash with gorgeous shades of coppers and golden browns.
I think these two look like they've earned that glass of milk and cookies! They've been sweeping those leaves all morning - though if they were my boys they would now probably be having a ball rolling around in them!

I've coloured them using distress inks and the leaves are punched using various punches.

The leaves (fall) nicely into the challenge over on Cute Card Thursday with the theme 'Tree-mendous' and the lovely sketch is from the Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge blog.
Thanks for taking the time to drop by, I'm trying to get to everyone who comments but our internet is slowy driving me nuts - when are BT going to 'unbundle' our wires to the village. It is painstakingly slow, and I have to pay an extra £15 per month for the privilege!
Okay, moan over..................for now ;o)

OMG! you sure know how to get a boy card together, this is stunning! i may have to case your idea of using leaves with boy cards since we cant possibly have flowers.

Ohhhh, you've got the same blog background as me!! Thought I'd gone awry and visited my own site for a split second there!
Anyway, beautiful card - those LOTV images are the best and you've really done it justice! Thanks for playing along with SS&S this week. Hope to see you again. Marie xx
