Autumn Leaves - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Hello lovely peeps,
Did anyone watch that programme "Golden Oldies" on TV last night? It really tugged at my heart strings seeing those poor elderly people struggling for such basic living needs after all they have seen & experienced in life, if only I had a massive house I'd adopt them all so I can look after them & they wouldn't be lonely. I don't think hubby would be overly keen though, he's only just got over Christmas Day 1995 when I took our old labrador out for a walk and brought a man called Harry home to share Christmas dinner with us as I couldn't bear the thought of me going home & enjoying a Christmas dinner with my family & him being alone & having a miserable day, hubby is right I am a soft touch lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week our challenge is a
AUTUMN LEAVES
  Ingredients -
Tools - Simon Says Stamp small forest tree dieMS doily lace & frond leaf punches, & CC Designs 5 point flowers

Edited - one lovely lady has emailed me and asked me what the twigs are around the flowers so in case anyone else wonders they are actually the small forest tree die, I just snipped a little of the tree trunk off to make them slightly smaller & popped them among the flowers as I wanted them to look like twigs so at least I know now that idea worked & it's not just me that thinks they look like twigs now lol.
The Copic Colours I've used are -
skin - E21, E00, E000, R20, E93, hair - E31, E25, E50, scarf & gloves - B41, B000, B0000, C1, C00, jeans - B95, B93, B91, jumper - E43, E41, E40, log - E87, E84, E81, mushroom - W2, W1, W00 / W6, W4, W2, sun - Y26, Y21, broom - E81, E84/ E87, E44, E43, leaves - E19, E17, TR14, YR24, YR21

  10. Sometimes "soft touch" is just a synonym for "good person". I'm pretty sure that's true in your case.

    And if you had a massive house, I don't see how your husband could really object, I mean, how much house does a family need? You might as well share, right?
