St Lukes Hospice Card Challenge

I saw a link to this challenge on Vickys site and thought that it was such a worthy cause that I would submit  a card to my first challenge.

The challenge this month is to make a card using a flying theme.  I thought about either using  butterflies or the lovely Plane and simple stamp which I keep using as my husband is learning to fly ! I decided to use the Nature Walk which is another stamp that I keep using. I love the gorgeous bird and I am currently into making cards that are partly brown:

Lovely as a tree

Both the Less is More Challenge and the Simply Stampin Challenge have asked for cards using leaves as  inspiration this week.
The Lovely as a Tree stamp set is a beautiful  set which I recently purchased but have not used yet so this was a good chance to use it. The first one inspired me so much that I made a second one. The layout for both is similar. They both have double score lines above and below the image. The first one uses the oak leaves and the acorn which was stamped in Chocolate Chip and then  blended using the blender pen with a little Pumpkin Pie. The second card uses the group of trees and then underneath the score lines I have stamped the small leaf in Chocolate Chip,Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive.
