Fall Tree

This is a really simple card, but I really like how it turned out. The card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4." I used yellow cardstock for the card base, then cut some leaf patterned cardstock 1/4" smaller. The leaf cardstock is from Debbie Mumm. I cut a yellow rectangle at 4"x 3" and some tan cardstock the same size. I adhered them onto the card base, with the yellow one slightly askew. The tree is cut at 3 1/2." I used a shimmery orange cardstock for the leaves. I stamped the sentiment in cosmic copper ink by Tsukineko. I finished it all off by edging the tan and yellow cardstocks with copper and yellow Stickles.

I made this for the following challenges:
365 Cards: "Day 181" - Super Sketchy Sunday sketch
BBTB2: curly tree from Heritage (I used Straight From the Nest, since I don't own Heritage)
Die Cuttin' Divas: fall colors
Fantabulous Cricut: use the color yellow
Scrappy Moms Stamps: Straight From the Nest
