Hello Crafty Friends.
SToday in Nova Scotia it is starting to feel a little like fall. The leaves have not started to change but the temperature has dropped ever so slightly. I don't mind as fall is a lovely time of year and I believe it may be our Saint Bernard's favorite season. Summer takes a toll on Ella and she is constantly stretched out in front of a fan, is laying on the cool concrete floor in the basement or is in the lake taking extra long soaks. But fall breathes life into Ella and the mild temperatures allow her to take long doggy walks in the cool air with her two BFFs. We take a lot of photos of Ella in the fall as the forest provides a beautiful background against her white and brown coat. It really is a wonderful season.
I tried to capture the changing leaves in my "Wish you were here" card. Wendy Vecchi's stencil Layered Tree was used with Distress Inks (Peeled Paint, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Tumbled Glass) The gold leaves were made using Imagine Crafts' Creative Metallics in gold.
Thank you so much for stopping by for the visit. Have a happy crafty day!
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo

This is super awesome...Love the inking of the tree. Great job! So glad you joined our 200th Challenge at Word Art Wednesday last week. We have a new Challenge today and I hope you join us again. Leaving you with the inspiration of God's Word in Colossians 2:6-8 which says, "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." Have a blessed day!
