There are some cards that take longer to think of than to make and then there are others that take longer to make than it did to think of what you were going to do. This card is one of the latter ones. I knew right away what I wanted to do, but it has taken me all day to get it done. Not because it was a hard card, but because I had so many interuptions. Darn work!! Holly challenged us to make a card based on a childhood memory. One of my earliest memories was of being in bed (supposedly taking a nap) and looking out my window at the leaves on the trees. I loved watching the designs, of the negative spaces, as the leaves moved in the wind.
This is also for the Stampin B's challenge to make a monochromatic green card.
This is also for the Stamping Sisters in Christ Challenge to make a CAS card. To me CAS is limited layers and limited coloring. (Still had to add a cut out Layers of Color Butterfly.)
I used MOJO131 for my layout. This is also for Our Daily Bread challenge to make a card showing Spring.

I remember gazing at leaves (and clouds) and the negative space and making up stories for and looking for shapes in what I saw!! This card evokes that feeling perfectly Nicely done CAS and all green card!!
