For some reason or another, I seem to be on a die rolling kick around here! I've got several dies and every time I decide to make a card I grab one instead of a stamp. I'm really thinking that due to the hot weather we've been having I'm just getting extremely lazy!!! I need to get back into the ink again for sure - and will!
I stumbled across a blog the other day called I'm in Haven......oh my........fantastic cards! I was sitting here drooling over all her pretty cards - and her use of this die - and then remembered I have that die too (thanks to someone VERY special) !!
I know this is very clean and simple but that tree is so pretty I didn't want to add anything else to the card other than the twine and sentiment. I used snippets of three different fall colors and placed them behind the cut out leaves. I used Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, and Pumpkin Pie. Nice fall colors! The sentiment is from SU.
I'll enter this in the challenges at Hiding in my Craftroom (super scraps) and Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).
Thanks for stopping by...........

This is so pretty and would be great for any occasion. Love your layers and the bit of twine.
What gorgeous work with this awesome die, Lynn!! And those wonderful autumn leaves have me daydreaming of cooler days!!
Hello Lynn,
So we have something in common... I am on die buying spree too. Lol. Sometimes it is so much easier not to work with stamps.
This card is lovely and the earthy colours look really nice. The tree die, you are right, looks nice the way it is as a focal point.
Love,
Monica
Gorgeous card Lynn, I like the tree and the twine.

I love the colorful snippets behind the leaves and the twine makes it perfect! I'm familiar with Lisa's blog! She has amazing talent!
Wow, this is simple and perfect!! That tree is so gorgeous. I have to get that die.
This is simply gorgeous, love the colors and if by using only dies, you create such master pieces then it won't harm if you can take a break from stamping for sometime :)
Amazing, Lynn - love it!!
Blessings

Gorgeous card and thank you for the link. I struggle to make CAS cards so always on the look out for inspiration. Fab use of snippets hugs Karen
That's a fabulous die, Lynn,and now you have to tell us its name and who made it! Fantastic idea to do fall colors with it. Love the twine. :-D
Love the tree die and it's fall leaves Lynn! It doesn't need a thing more, you showcased it beautifully!
Oh I love it. Those color go perfect together and the simplicity of this fantastic card is right up my alley. An outstanding card, who needs stamps, right?????
Awesome CAS card! I went and checked out that site and it is a goodie. Funny, but I feel I need to use my dies more, lol.
This is a stunning fall snippets card, Lynn! I so love Lisa's cards, too, and think you have done her proud using this die as you have!!
Stunning card Lynn, but of course even more so in real life - oh, lucky me!
LOVE LOVE LOVE This CAS CARD!!! The twine is always a Great to add and love your sentiment too!! TFS
I know exactly what you mean! I seriously look at stamps and think...do I really want to take all the time to color?! I've been 'cheating' quite a bit...my neck appreciates the vacation from coloring. I am so darn near sited that I have my nose about three inches from the paper - and end up gnawing on ibuprofen before I done with the Copics!
I really really like the sentiment on this!

Love the CAS look and the great colors you used. I do not know how you do it.....awesome card after awesome card!!!
It's hard to do anything when it's so hot! I just recently found 'I'm in Haven' too, and OMG, did you see her sprinkles popsicle card? INSANE.
Loving the fall colours - and that twine :)
I love dies... after my paper fetish, dies are my next compulsion. Fabulous card... so creative too.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lovely as a tree! And I LOVE dies, maybe cause I don't stamp so well as you do!! Our minds must be running parallel, I was working on a similar tree (no die!) last night. Not ready to share just yet. Yours is beautiful, with your marvelous style. I see your MoJo has returned (not that I thought it was ever away!) in full force. Enjoyed this pretty card. TFS
Beautiful!! I love the simplicity of this and the twine goes so well with the wonderful fall colors!
