Autumn Blessings...

 Hello!  Popping in to share a card that I had wanted to enter in the Freshly Made Sketches and Just Us Girls, but I'm only making it into the JUGs challenge which is to use die cuts using acorns.  Let's see what I made.


PaperTrey Ink's Into the Blooms:  Acorns die set is one that I have had for a couple of years.  I was determined to use it this year and thankfully the JUGs challenge gave me that opportunity.   There are more pieces to the acorns than the ones I used, but I wanted to get the card done so I kept things simple.  I did add a little bit of color to the acorn bodies using residual ink from the blending brush I use for brown oxide inks.  Once I had all the pieces assembled I added some sparkle with Rock Candy glitter and a panel of kraft cardstock that I hot foiled with PTI's Merry Motifs hot foil plate.  Finished with the sentiment that is from a Simon Says Stamp set called Sketched Leaves.  It was die cut with a SSS rounded oval die.  I just checked and I can also enter this one in the SSS Wednesday challenge to bling it on. 


That's it for me.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
