CASE Study #159 - Fall Acorns

Happy Thursday!  To me that means it's time for a new challenge at CASE Study Challenge.   I'm really enjoying our muse of the month - Kathy Racoosin!  She's got a great eye for color and interesting ways to use products.  Check out here design to inspire us this week.  There are lots of neat things here - I loved the rounded corner, the pattern of the embellishment repeated in the background, the die cut banner peeking over the edge of the card.   I think this one is easy to see where the inspiration came from! 


I knew I wanted to make a fall theme card and these little acorns were just the ticket.  I carefully stamped them in a row and kept them straight by drawing pencil lines and using my "ink a ma jig" to line things up perfectly.    I liked the glossy look of Kathy's embellishment so I due cut one of my acorns - inked it in purple of course - and added some "glossy accents" to give that epoxy look. The pennant was cut with a border die.  I kept some of the punch outs in tact and backed it with some matching orangy card stock. 

I hope you find some time to play along this week.  You can find lots of inspiration from the CASE Study design team here.   And our special guest teamie this month is Amber Hight
