Oak Leaves and Acorns

Hello everyone,

Today's post is another great autumn card.

The card base is Stampin' Up Cinnamon Cider.  The printed paper is of unknown origin layered on a brown Bazzill.  The sentiment is of unknown origin stamped in Stampin' Up Early Espresso on Recollections Vanilla and layered on more brown Bazzill.  The embellishments are Stampin' Up Designer Elements.

I will readily admit this is not my favourite card in this commission.  It's a little too brown and frankly, not even a really nice brown.  I thought the dark layer would help but every time I look at it, I wonder what Stampin' Up was thinking when they came up with Cinnamon Cider.  I'm glad I only have a couple of sheets from the sample pack otherwise I'd be hard pressed to find ways of using it.  I think the printed paper works well with the Cinnamon Cider with the scale of the images being perfect for a card.  I even used a favourite layout for this card...

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
