Daring Cardmakers have a text challenge this week and because languages are dear to my heart, I cheekily ‘borrowed’ the theme for our KCUK Yahoo group monthly challenge, so this is my entry. Artistic Stamper’s Challenge is for Autumn Colours, so I’m entering that one, too, if it’s okay.
I haven’t used these colours for a while but Autumn is the time for gorgeous Autumn colours, even if the sun has been ‘cracking the flags’ in Merseyside and the rest of England most of this week.
The weather is due to change here tomorrow – more rain – and to get cooler as each day passes, due to a cold front coming in, but hey ho – it was lovely while it lasted.
Unfortunately, I had a manic week, teaching lots of classes I’ve never taught before and struggling with very mixed groups, so did nothing but work! Interesting, though 🙂
Here’s my card. The French text is in the background, which is how I love to use it. 
Colours are Adirondack Butterscotch, Distress inks Aged Mahogany, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Walnut Ink.
I really LOVE this colour combination.

A gorgeous card – love that colour combo – reminds me of beech woodland. Sounds like a tiring week for you, but it also sounds like you are enjoying it, which is the important thing. It has taken four weeks of me being a dragon, but (touch wood) my class are beginning to settle down and listen.
