acorn friends...

Hello and happy November everyone!  I have a fun card today that was inspired by the challenge over at Inspired By.  They have the cutest inspiration photo and when I saw it I thought of the acorn cluster in the Autumn Pumpkin stamp set.   I pulled in a few other bits and pieces to complete my card.  Since I was inspired by the Inspired By challenge I will be adding this to their gallery.


I stamped the acorns in Copic friendly ink and then colored everything with various brown and yellow Copic markers.  I can't tell you what I used exactly as I was just trying to get colors to blend.  After I got them colored I die cut with the matching die and then added their little faces with a black pen.  I found some old fall themed patterned paper from Carta Bella and die cut a circle to layer the acorns on, as well as some to stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Sunflower stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine CLAIR Acorn ink and then die cut it with a label die from the Slimline Essentials Backdrop die set.  I was going to just die cut the off white cardstock with the largest Stitched Dot Rectangle die and then I spied my Vintage Frame die set.  I die cut the cardstock and then added tape to the back to keep the center rectangle in place.  The Vintage Frame was popped up and then I layered on circle and the acorns.  I tucked the sentiment and two leaves that I had made for a previous project on the panel and I was done.  I really like how it turned out.
