Acorns with Oak Leaves - Fat Page


This is my first DT piece for Vintage Elusions. Thank you for choosing me to be on your design team. Challenge 10 is titled "vintage garden". The sponsors for this week's challenge are The Crafty Pad and Floppy Latte. Please pull out your crafting supplies and create something you would find in a vintage garden for this Challenge or "anything goes".

I used a digital stamp provided by The Crafty Pad. I colored the image with MS Paint and then added some extra color with chalks. I embellished the card with a piece of red abaca ribbon, some irridescent seed beads for some sparkle and a colorful fabric bow to add a pop of color. I added the words "fall is in the air" that I printed on my computer and then cut out.

I am entering this fat page in the following challenges:
