In my head paper piecing goes hand in hand with the Clean and Simple look for some reason, so it's a CAS card today...

I used my home made stamp positioner (a handful of Lego bricks made into a right angle and a piece of clear card sheet) to split the sentiment over two lines to suit the shape of the card better.
Stamps:
Summer Trees (Kim Hughes Collection)
Fine Houndstooth Scrapblock
Woodgrain backgrounder
Friend Centers (Mona Lisa Moments line)
Paper:
Scrapblock Layers (CHF)
Smooth white
Scrap of unknown brown
Ink:
Adirondack dye ink by Ranger (Espresso)
Tim Holtz Distress by Ranger (Shabby Shutters and Weathered Wood)
Other:
Stamp positioner
Craft knife
Detail scissors

Fabulous card!!! Love the simplicity of it, but that tree is just...WOW!
thanks for sharing your card, Joanne! Before I read about your pp dilemna, I never had thought not to use pp, but now you have opened my eyes to creating my own. Thanks and I love those houndstooth leaves!
Gorgeous!
Great card....great idea and new use for Lego!!! Used to be the bane of my life 35 years ago....it was all my sons wanted to play with...now at 43 and 35 they 'collect' it...you are very resourceful! Maybe you should contact Lego with a new product idea!!!LOL
