Mine's the maple as the colours they turn throughout the year are truly & awesomely magnificent :) Hopefully nearby you will have some trees that whose leaves are starting to look a lot like these - a glorious green!

Thi card is simple & sweet - one colour stamping using Gumball Green (one of the new 2012-2014 In colours) cardstock (127543 £6.25 for 24 A4 sheets) & ink (126861 £4.95) . A whisper white cardstock base was stamped using the French Foliage stamp set ((w) 120845 £17.95 (c) 121166 £13.95) which offers a beautiful array of vintage leaf stamps perfect for many styles.
A slice of In Colour designer paper in Gumball Green created the banner effect and then a torn & distressed piece of cardstcok completed the look I was wanting. The sentiment was from the Sale-a-bration Blooming Marvellous set - don't forget there's just one more week to order this free set with a £45 product order! A little left over wool from the Autumn/Winter catalogue for the bow and the card was complete. What do you think? I love to receive comments on my cards, please don't be shy!!
I'm going to enter this card into a couple of online challenges this week - Retro Sketches #54 & Just Add Ink # 157 where the challenge there is "Just Add Green", 365 cards sketch challenge and Seize the Birthday where it's a masculine sketch birthday card - I have flipped the sketch for this one. Crafters Cafe - I've also linked to your green challenge #14. Think I've achieved that goal!
If you'd like to make this card and need the component parts then please get in touch at lisa.barton@hotmail.co.uk and I can order them for you. Whilst you're here, have a browse at my other posts - I try and update every other day if not daily so there's lots to see!
In the meantime, will be back at the weekend with some new work. See you soon :)
