My 90 year old Mother-in-law requested a card for her 90 year old friend, with this sentiment. As she said "We're old friends, so we can call each other these names!"
I sponged pumpkin pie, cajun craze and soft suede on a marbled paper, then stamped the oak leaf in Basic black. Cut out three leaf bunches and sponged the edges.
Stamped the oak tree on the Baja Blue. Glue gunned a wire inside the real acorn cap and wired it through the Baja Blue, to secure it. Affixed the three leaf bunches. Raised the Baja Blue on the metallic paper, then onto the brown bag paper which I had stamped with the oak leaves stamp.
The sentiment is computer generated. I used deckle scissors and sponged the edge of the sentiment and raised it on dimensionals.
I cut one corner of the grocery bag paper layer. I used threads I pulled out of burlap fabric as the ribbon.
