I love the soft look of this colour scheme, Kara. The woodgrain stamp looks great on the tree trunk and I like the way you've used the circle under the tree top for a little pop of colour.

I adore this card! Seriously, this is one of my most favorite Kara-cards :)

Lynn said...

This is so soft and beautiful. Really love it Kara! And...I'm so with you on not having an alarm on the weekends!

Christina said...

Ooh, this is so wonderful, Kara! I love how the grass stamping extends onto the tag, and the layered tree top is beautiful!

Cathy Weber said...

I love this idea Kara of stamping your scene around the tag, love the tree top and the grass flowing onto the tag. Great card.

Renee said...

OK...
this is gorgeous!!
The colors...
so soft and calming.
And I agree with Cathy...
the way you stamped around the tag and incorporated it in the scene...
stunning! :)
Hope you have a wonderful dinner...
and enjoy the laundry as much as laundry is allowed to be enjoyable...
*giggle*
I'm right with you on that one today! :)

Okay, this is fabulous! I love the tag the same colour as the background, the grass and the clouds.... this is so perfect!

I just love how the tag is totally a part of the card front, but totally stands out at the same time...I definitely want to try this technique, what a stand out statement it makes!
