Inspired By...Acorns challenge

 Hello everyone.  Happy Thursday!  I'm so excited by this weeks Inspired By... Acorns Challenge #IB355.  The theme and sketch are so much fun.  This time the Acorns theme inspired me although I love the sketch too.  This challenge will run about a week so I hope you can join us, I can't wait to see what inspired you!

Without further ado, here is my card...

I love this cute retired stamp from Avery Elle called Aw Nuts. I liked this image because of the Big Acorn, Coffee, and I had never used it before. I know I waited a long time.  I love this challenge as it gets me to search my stash. So, I stamped this image on Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds with Memento Tuxedo ink.  I colored it in with my Altenew Alcohol Markers and then fussy cut it out.

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto a green strip of pattern paper with Versafine Onyx ink. I cut out a white panel cardstock 4 x 5 1/4.  I also cut some green textured cardstock to mat my white panel onto.  Everything was glued to a A2 top folding card base 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 with Bearly Art Glue.  I love how this card came out. Usually white space is hard for me I almost ink blended around the image.  Yay for clean and simple (CAS).

I hope I inspired you to check out this challenge and if you win you'll get a badge for your blog and your card will be announced on the Inspired By Blog.  That's so great!
