I made several versions of this card, using a Spellbinders kit acorn die. I combined it with a Sizzix Tim Holtz alterations leaf die, which I inlaid into my card base. These two cards us the positive and negative leaf and backgrounds, along with a a distress inked card base. Die cutting from a card base and swapping out the negative and positive gives me two cards to work with, which is a great way to do multiples for holidays. I finished one of the acorns with an enamel square, tipped on its point and added a fiber knot to the other one. This is a great way to use up odds and ends from your stash. The first photo shows the two versions, using positive and negative die cuts. The second photo shows the sentiment stamped inside the cards.The sentiment is by Gina K Designs.
