I first stamped all of the tree elements; cutting out those darn bunches of leaves took forever. I wanted an off center look so I cut around a few of the branches to let the brown (and dry embossed with polka dots) paper show. Using 3D elements, I placed the leaves on the branches (even used a couple to hide some ink smudges), distressed the edges with a brown cat eye and tied a pretty bow around before gluing to the brown mat which is glued to the orange, folded cardstock. I used another 1 inch circle stamp that says "Sending you birthday wishes" and "Your special day." My 1 inch circle punch worked perfectly with it. It's a prefect card for someone with a fall birthday!
