I combined it with a Flourishes sketch from a week ago (yup, late again!) because I wanted to use my new PTI leaf dies (happy sigh...) to make a masculine card and this sketch was perfect. Since our spring has never really arrived, it was an easy transition back to Fall colours - isn't that a sad statement to make! I used the maple leaf die and this fabulous sentiment from Verve's Love Deepens set as it fit the empty space on the sentiment panel wonderfully. Best part is I have decided this will be my hubby's birthday card, so it is made well in advance as his birthday isn't until September :)
We have a long weekend up here in Canada and that means some fun family time :) Plus, if all goes well, and IF the weather cooperates by bringing some sunshine, I'm hoping to plant some annuals in my garden. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend!

I adore that maple leaf, Marisa. What a great accent! And super use of the Flourishes sketch. I thought I recognized that ;) . Hope you get your garden in!!
Beautiful Marisa! That embossing folder is perfect with that fabulous leaf die, and I really love that sketch too. We never Spring here either, (or winter for that matter, lol. We are total opposite of you, we went from Fall straight to Summer. Have a great weekend. :D
What a beautiful subtle take on that sketch Marisa!! It's absolutely gorgeous! Hugs Viv xxx

What an awesome masculine card! That maple leaf is just YOU!.
I grouped you in my Reader -- I am in heaven now for commenting!! I only have missed about 20 of your creations -- :( Consider a FABULOUS on all of them okay? :)
Just so perfect Marisa! The embossed panel reminds me of the bark of a tree which, of course, is just right with the maple leaf. Trees are so strong, dependable and beautiful and so the whole theme is perfect with the sentiment and the fact that it's for your dear husband too. I'll go now as I know I'm rambling, lol!! xxx
Gorgeous card for any gender!
