Autumn - Crafty Creations Challenge

Hi Ya Everyone!
  Today, I went simple - but I LOVE the way this card turned out.  This week at Crafty Creations we are challenging you all to make a Halloween/Fall card!  Now, this should be easy - the sky's the limit so to speak!  Any colors, any images, anything!!!  So create and enter - you could win some sweet bling and felt ribbon!
Ok, my card.  All cricut baby!  No Copics - can you believe it???  I used my new Straight From the Nest cartridge - Love it.  These little trees totally jumped off the booklet page and told me I had to make fall trees with them! LOL.  I have this great paper from Basic Grey fall stack that is perfect - there are actually little fall trees in the background.  I cut each tree the same size with the shadow and all layers using my Gypsy.  I simply adhered them to the shadow which I cut in a creamy white from the same stack. 

I also chose the Autumn cut from Stretch Your Imagination and cut the three layers (shadow, regular and outline) in white, orange and brown.  I popped the front tree off of the card while leaving the other three attached.  Finally, I topped this card off with a maroon and brown crinkle ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique.  Love this little simple card - please join in the fun at Crafty Creations this week!
Enjoy!
