Acorn Thanksgiving

This card is based on the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. I tried a new technique for this card. I used craft foam, heated it with a heat tool and then stamped the acorns into the warmed foam. When it was cool, I fussy cut around them and added highlights and detail with paint. I adhered the acorns to a vanilla circle matted with a chocolate circle that I had punched holes in and stitched around with embroidery thread.  I dry embossed the leaves, fussy cut around them, added details with a green colored pencil and then adhered then next to the acorns.  I adhered the two circles to the text and patterned paper base. The text background paper was created with vanilla cardstock and  an MS Word document.  I also printed the sentiment with MS Word.
