For my tree...I used a tree from Serenade which is a solutions cartridge. It was a fun cartridge to play with. I will admit this was my first cut from this cartridge-- it's definitely different to get used to not having the book to go along with the cartridge but I think I managed to do okay.
I could not decide on a sentiment for this card so at this point I have just decided to leave it blank--let me know if you have any ideas!!
As I was putting the card together I found a random sheet of printed designer paper in the blue and that served well as the background and sky! The leaves needed a little bit of something so I used some stickles to brighten up the card. The grass was cut out using my trusty grass punch from Martha. Then as I was finishing the card I decided it just needed a little bit more and I decided clouds it was. I had already turned my cricut off and didn't know of a cloud cut off hand-- so I used my punch from SU! the cupcake and used the frosting from the cupcake as clouds for my card!

What a super card! Those leaves look fantastic! I think this card could be used for almost any occasion, but would be especially good for a "Thinking of You" sentiment. I'm so pleased to be working with you at FCCB too.
