Tradefish Desings-Nuts About You

Hi!  Today I want to share a card using a fab new set from Tradefish Designs called Got Leaves?  I love all of the images and matching sentiments in this set.  My favorite, has got to be the acorns and this sentiment. I remember collecting acorns when I was little and thinking that they looked like a little head with a hat on top.  Me and my husband's old house had a HUGE oak tree in the front.  One year we literally had acorns EVERYWHERE! The squirrels were sure happy, but I only wish they would have taken more for themselves!  They were a real pain to try and pick up out of the yard, flower beds, and the gutters. 

Okay...on to the card.  I colored the acorns and oak leaves with copic markers and then cut them out.  I had an idea for a circle card, so I just played with the placement and curve of the sentiment on my acrylic block until I got just right.  I colored a rhinestone to match the acorns (copic marker).  The strip of patterned paper was from my scrap bin.  I have been trying to use up some of my old supplies (including scraps).  I sponged distress ink around the edge of the inner circle and the scallop front and back is cut with my nesties.
