On a Clear Fall Day

Inspiration: Festive Friday #67 (Leaves + Acorns + Squirrels)

This is my second project inspired by the new Lawn Fawn release. I like that they did the Into the Woods Remix papers, which have cute patterns in a great mix of fall colours. I paired them with the Acorn House dies as the starting point of this card. I used the Puffy Cloud Borders die to create leaves, that I layered over the new Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop. The lift flaps are cute, but I do like this new die for the trees themselves and will probably use it with the flaps glued down once in a while just to create a general forest background on my cards. This time, I did hide a little sleeping squirrel in one of the flaps. 

I used the Let's Go Nuts stamp set to create a scene. I was not sure which images I wanted to include so I stamped and colored them all. Since I was working with fall colors, I decided to use Rick Cocoa Memento ink to do my stamping. I'll just use the remaining images on another project. The Acorn House die set includes three leaf sizes, which I used to add some over the patterned paper. I layered a stitched rectangle frame over the tree backdrop and grass for a more finished look. The windows on the acorn house and door were lined with pearlescent vellum.

I repeated the flower flourish on a Bronze Metallic envelope to finish my set.
