In the mood for Autumn and a 2nd look !

I am doubling up on my post today, I hope you don't mind? 
First I would like to show you the card I made for one of my SILs.
As usual I try to keep my cards for posting flat, and I decided to go with an Autumnal card,

I used the edge of a stencil to get the tree shape before stamping the Lavinia Stamps tree using Archival WV Potting Soil.
I used a few different orange shades of Distress ink and edged the paper with Brushed Corduroy DI.
The leaves were stamped with a tiny leaf shape button.
I mounted everything simply on brown and orange card.
I found the ribbon in my one of my ribbon boxes - one of the first ribbons I bought from a craft shop some years ago!

These are some of the trees in Tatton Park where we went on Friday and gave me some inspiration.

Now, I'm not sure whether you know, but Bleubeard and Elizabeth invite you on the second of every month to share something from your bloggy past.

 I have gone back to November 3rd 2012 with this post….

Hels' Sunday Stamper challenge this week was Autumn/Fall, I haven't joined in with one of these for ages but I leapt to it straight away, unfortunately it's taken me until today to complete it and with a deadline to closing only hours away thought I'd better get on with it!!
Like many, I do love Autumn colours(as my camera would prove lol!)so I found this easy to get on with!

This part of the lyrics from 'Windmills Of My Mind' goes through my head often in Autumn so although Hels had thought of the Neil Young classic 'Harvest Moon' I'm afraid this is how I see this challenge(soreee!!)
I'm sure Stampotique's Mothfab would be one to colour her hair with the changing seasons, so with the help of some Crafty Individual and My Minds Eye leafy stamps I ended up with this!

Thanks for looking, Chrisx
