Happy Birthday Leaf Collection Card

 I was inspired this past week to make a card for the Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #731 challenge and my first instinct was to use this awesome background stamp from Stampin' Up - "Leaf Collection" (#163610).

I think this stamp was recently retired but I am not sure exactly when.

I had it sitting in my stash collection and had somehow overlooked using it but when I saw this challenge I thought it would fit nicely with the cut puzzle like pieces for the front!

Below are the measurements & supplies I used to make this card.
