I had ordered the Go Green set from My Cute Stamps late last week, and I knew that I wanted to use them as soon as I saw the challenge. I also incorporated the cloud image from My Cute Stamps' Cheer Up set. Yes...I'm addicted to My Cute Stamps!!
I stamped the tree on kraft paper using Memento Tuxedo Black. The leaves & heart are colored with Copics while the truck is colored with pastels. The clouds were stamped onto kraft with Night of Navy, colored with pastels, and cut out. The peace sun was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with pastels, and cut out. I thought stamping on kraft cardstock gave it a more recycled feel - perfect for the challenge. I added the sentiment (...I wish this sentiment was included with the sent) using rub-on letters from Creating Keepsakes.

I love the colors and simplicity of this card. Even though I can tell it took some TLC time to create. Very nice!!
Lovely work and blog! I´m following you ;)
Stamping on kraft really worked out well for the green theme. I also like how you've used the simple strip of gingham ribbon for the ground. You're right -- an "Imagine" sentiment would be perfect for that stamp set.
Great job with this challenge! Love the tree stamp w/ the heart in it!!!
PS - I also love your "siggy" at the bottom of your posts!!

I can't go look at My Cute Stamps - I've been tempted too much lately from new (to me) stamp companies! Wonderful card - I like how you used the kraft cardstock.
