Autumn Blessings

I heard my first flock of geese honking their way south yesterday.  Sure sign of autumn coming.  When the kids were little, I would summon them out on the back deck whenever I heard the geese coming or going in the spring and fall.  We would wave and welcome them or bid them farewell.  Spring is always a welcome season.  Fall, however, is my very favorite time of year.  I love the cooler weather, the flaming colors of nature, returning to the comforts of routine, and of casseroles and comfort foods.  And though winters surely follows fall, it only makes me cherish it's beauty all the more. 

This stamp, AUTUMN BLESSINGS , from Technique Junkies, is my favorite from this September new release.  The artist, Janine Tinklenburg, created a beautiful image for designing cards.  

The beautiful tree with lots of leaves to color with fall hues (and greens in the springtime) is the perfect image to welcome fall.

Check out my blog post on Design Junkies HERE for full details of how I created the card and added the script background and my techniques, along with all the stamps and mediums I used.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
