Hi Friends and fellow crafters! It has been a crazy week, so I am keeping my challenge post short and sweet. I used my Circut Close To My Heart Art Philosophy to cut the three large acorns. They are made from mulberry paper and the tops are made with SEI velvet paper. The medallion where the sentiment is stamped is also from CTMH Art Philosophy. I used green velvet SEI paper for the frame and K&Company paper for the background. I stamped the sentiment and embossed it with green Zing Embossing Powder. The mat for the three acorns is from the new Circle exclusive cartridge Sophie. I created a shadow with my Gypsy by copying the leaf frame and then hiding the leaf contours, so I was left with the shadow. I really like this frame. I used Prima papers for the mat and K&Company for the shadow. I used an acorn from the Imagine Cart Enjoy The Seasons as an accent on the sentiment. I glittered it with stickles. I also glittered the gems on the corner of the card with Cinnamon stickles.

I stamped Andrea Acorn by Kraftin' Kimmie and colored her with copics. I added some glitter on her dress using Atyou Spica Pens in clear and red. I also added some Cinnamon stickles to her cloak and necklace. The pictures sadly don't do the glitter justice.

I love Autumn, I love the crisp weather and the colors of nature. I made this card for a family friend who's birthday just passed and I didn't get the card in the mail on time. The sentiment says "Aw Nuts, I Missed Your Birthday"

I love Kraftin' Kimmie stamps and they are some of my favorites to use with my Cricut cuts on cards.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Happy Crafting!
