I love Autumn - love sunshine and warm summer days too - but the colours of Autumn are often spectacular and I love to drive along looking at the changing colours of the trees.
It is from Stampendous and is another of my rarely used ones.
I stamped it onto watercolour card using Coffee Ranger Archival Ink.
Out with the Distress Inks - Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Peeled Paint.
The stamp is a large one and I thought about a sentiment on the front but decided against it - I remembered that I had these leaf buttons from years ago - took me longer to find them than it did to make the darn card! Found eventually and attached with a little bit of string.

It's a glorious Autumnal piece Viv and love how you have placed the tree over the very fitting quote stamp.
Things seem to have taken a downward turn the last ten days, wonder what today will hold?

It’s a lovely stamp Viv and I love the text in the background but you’ve brought it to life with the wonderful autumnal colours that you’ve used. The leaf embellishments look pretty too x
Lovely card Viv..fab colours and design..love those little buttons, I can quite see why you had to find them! xx
Good grief Viv, why do we do it to ourselves, there must be less stressful ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Popped back to thank you for sharing with us at Penny Black and More and Allsorts challenges - yep, I'm pretty transparent when it comes to choosing themes this time of year.
