I have much to be thankful for and try to remind myself of that as often as possible. I like sending cards for Thanksgiving to the people in my life that I am thankful for so it was with that in mind that I created today's card:
The acorn toppers look gold here but I promise you, they are punched from Copper Foil paper. I thought they needed to be "grounded" by something--I didn't like them just floating--so I added two oak leaves from the Vintage Leaf set and cut with the coordinating Framelits. Of course, I added a little Wink of Stella to the leaves and acorns because, well...why not?! The Linen Thread was just looped behind the acorns and attached with glue dots.
It's really a simple card and while I strayed from the sketch a little bit, I think you can see the inspiration:
