Try It On Tuesday - New Challenge

Well! October! This year has simply flown by and Autumn is well and truly upon us here.
Seem to have spent a lot of time lately getting up the leaves from the large oak tree that overhangs onto rear driveway from our lovely neighbours. Its a magnificent tree and I love to watch it as the seasons change.

Anyway the card for Try It On Tuesday's new challenge of Autumn which starts today is inspired by a mischievous squirrel who loves to run up said oak tree with his spoils - he disappears from view when he gets near the top so I hope he has found someone to share them with!

I used a variety of colours and stamps for this make.

The leaves and the log stamps are from Lavinia as is the rather large 'nut' being inspected!
Potters Clay, Rich Cocoa, Tangelo, Tea Leaves Memento and Versacolour inks, and Fired Brick Oxide.

The two squirrels are from Card-io and the sentiment is from Inkylicious which I thought was so very apt and very true.

The rest of the DT and our Guest Designer have lots of inspiration for you so please pop over to the blog and pay them a visit. Hope too, that you will join us this fortnight and celebrate the colours of Autumn! x

I just love all the leaves in those pretty autumnal colours to frame the card Viv, and the two squirrels with their pine cone/nut, and they are frame beautifully by the sun behind them..a great sentiment too on this gorgeous card. x

This really put a smile on my face Viv with not one but two cheeky squirrels, they certainly keep nature lovers on their toes this time of year. I have one who sits on my bird feeder and watcher me cook through the kitchen window whilst he munches on the bird cake hee hee.. Beautiful creation, what a lovely inspiring time of year this is.
Happy October crafting Tracey x
