Go Nuts... Acorn Card

 Here is another shaped card for the challenge at Simply Less is Moore.   You could say I am going NUTS with this challenge!  This card is a set of acorns and the sentiment in side says "Go NUTS... On Your Birthday!"  I cut the acorns out of brown cardstock and cut the acorn caps from a very light green and white checked patterned paper. I chose the checked paper because the green color was similar to the color in the leaves that I wanted to use.  Since I already had oak leaf patterned paper, I cut the leaves directly from the paper. The leaves had a reddish-brown outline and vein pattern, so I outlined the caps and the edge of the acorns with a brown colored pencil to help pull the card together.   For the inside of the card I cut acorns from the same green checked pattern paper and used my computer to print "Go Nuts...." on the left acorn and "On Your Birthday" on the right acorn.
