Woo hoo!
I was selected as the winner by WWYS (What Will You Stamp) for the entry I placed HERE.
The exciting part is not only being selected to win but to be invited as the guest designer for WWYS Challenge #35 that begins today.
WWYS determines the stamp set for the challenge and I wanted to come up with something that didn't use fall colors but still showcased this beautiful stamp set and coordinating punch (it's a BUNDLE!).
Here's my card!
I stamped the leaf (Vintage Leaves) in Smoky Slate ink and 'stamped off' a layer of color to soften the shade. I interchanged the silver embossed acorn pieces with white corrugated cardstock. The fun texture of the acorn cap on the right was created by embossing right on silver foil paper. The picture doesn't do this card justice!
I'm a lover of anything sparkly so I added some Silver Metallic Thread behind my acorns and a few random rhinestones to the front of the card. I added a layer of Silver Fancy Foil Designer Vellum behind the front panel for coordination.
I didn't want to take away from the acorn focal point so I kept the greeting small and simple. The 'grateful' greeting is also embossed in silver and a small rhinestone helps coordinate the upper corner to the shimmer of the rest of my card.
