I chose to make my card more Autumnal than Summery, and came up with this card using some products from The Greetery and Pinkfresh Studios. Take a look...
Almost need your sunglasses to look at this card, don't ya?!! I started by making my background with Pinkfresh Studio's Layered Sunburst Stencils , using Lemon Drop, Wild Dandelion (Gina K) and Summer Sunrise (PTI) inks.
I added a white Crimped Circle Die cut to my sunburst layer, and then added a die cut branch from The Greetery's Autumn Sketches stamp set, using the same yellow and orange inks for the leaves and a neutral brown for the actual branch. I used the same neutral brown (Warm Cocoa - Gina K) for my die cut sentiments (The Greetery - Opposites Attract). I finished with a few yellow Pinkfresh Studio gems, and a single leaf from the stamp set that I attached with a piece of twine. (Can't really see in the photo, but I added WOS to the single leaf so there is a bit of sparkle to this card!)

What a fab sunburst to set off your fab autumnal sprig. Your choice of brown for the sentiment links up perfectly with the branch. So pleased you joined us for the 1yr celebrations at Color Hues. :)
