MCCR - Just Because

The challenge today at My Cricut Craft Room is to create a "Just Because" card.  I created a card with the scarecrow boy from Simply Charmed cartridge.  The leaves are from a punch and are intended to look like he's throwing them.

Designer CS:  K&Company "Ancestry" 12" x 12" pack.
Embossing:  Cuttlebug "Charles" folder.
Punches:  Martha Stewart (fence punch) and Maury (leaf punch).
Sentiment "Nuts about you!":  My Pink Stamper "Punny-licious" stamp set.
Face Stamp:  Peachy Keen Stamps "PK-400" Everyday Character Face Assortment.
Other:  Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.
