A One-Layer Thank You

I realized last week that I really need to work on some simple thank you cards, something relatively flat and easy to mail with little frou-frou. Something that my hubby wouldn't mind writing his thank-you notes on, say, after his birthday. Which is exactly the situation that resulted in this card.
While it isn't exactly "manly," it also isn't "girlie." So I'm goin' with "gender neutral" here. And, yes, I know that button may cause a bit of trouble in the postal system, but I had to risk it. My design, created with the leaf from {ippity}'s Now & Always stamp set, was just begging for some kind of focal point, and that SU Pumpkin Pie corduroy button was perfect. So I had no choice but to include it. :)

I'm entering my card in these challenges:

• Unity Stamp Company Challenge: Falling Leaves (any project, created with Unity/Ippity stamps, with leaves on it)
• {ippity} Challenge: Fall (use Ippity/Unity stamps to create a project inspired by autumn)
  
• All Things Unity: #40 No Layers (Use any Unity and Ippity stamps and create anything with only ONE LAYER!!! )
• Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge: #73 make a one-layer card
• Less Is More: anything CAS goes

Thanks for checking out my little slice of bliss today!
