Autumn is the Year's Last Smile!

Hello to You All  and it's lovely that you pop in to my little bit of a blog.  It's always lovely to see my very talented followers and also to see new names commenting but perhaps don't have a blog so that I can return the visit, so thank you one and all for the time you all take.

We have a mixed bag of weather today, not quite doing what was forecast which was loads of rain, and Alistair didn't go away as he believed the forecast and now is kicking himself, oh well that is the joys of being an outdoor kind a guy.

My card today is coloured with the new Creative Expression Iridescent Watercolour Paints, see what you think;

Well I had no idea where I was going with this one colour wise, I just wanted to use these paints, which are the Christmas Set, and as you can see it turned out to have an Autumn theme.
Image is from Lavinia Stamps, coloured and cut out and put on to shimmer card, then matted onto a card coloured with brayering DI in the shades that I've used on the image. Sentiment is one that was free with a magazine, and some gems.

I hope you can see the effect of the paints as they are rather lovely.

I thought I would show you the beautiful frame Amanda made for me to say thanks for all the little handcrafted gifts I've given her, 

I was really touched by her thoughtfulness in making this so special for me with all the crafting details. It will have pride of place if I can get around to making our spare room my crafty corner and not the end of the dining table.

So that is me for today, I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying their day.
I'm back to rehearsals at the Choral Society tonight, and we are doing something really different, Fanshaw's African Sanctus, which involved a troupe of drummers. totally new to me, but I've heard it in concert and it is something else, so looking forward to that.

Till next time, take care,
