<p>This is very simple to make. I started stamping the acorns on a piece of white cardstock using VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink Pad. I filled the whole space with them. Then I trimmed it smaller than the A2 card and I added it on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue.</p>
<p>For the vocal point, I stamped the owl and wood stump on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Clair Acorn and I dried it with craft heater tool. I colored it with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencil. I simply colored just the edge around the images and using waterbrush I pulled the color to fill the image. After the images dried, i just fussy cut them with micro-trip scissors.</p>
<p>On a brown cardstock, I stamped the sentiment with the same ink pad using my Mini MISTI, trimmed it, and then using my trimmer, I scored couple lines to create a deboss frame. I added the on top of the acorn background with adhesive glue.</p>

<p>I added the wood stomp on card with adhesive glue and then the owl on top of it with 3D foam tape for extra dimension. I embellished the card with some natural twine ribbon on top.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my project to share with you today. I hope this inspire you to create for this Fall season. Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have wonderful day!</p>
