Acorn Ornaments digi ~ Power Poppy

Okay, some of you may be shocked!!  I'm posting a card two days in a row, and it's not even for a Clear Stamps set release.  Crazy!!  Since today is the 5th of November, Power Poppy has a new digital stamp set for y'all!!  It's called Acorn Ornaments, and they are quite the vintage delight!!  

Now,  I LOVE acorns.  I have sparkly acorns, felted acorns, glass acorns, and even a few acorn ornaments myself.  I have a few pictures to share at the end of this post.  But first, about today's project. 

I mixed some modern papers with some vintage ornaments.  Hope you don't mind.  I also played around with the colors.  I actually have a couple of turquoise glass acorns with copper tops.  They were the inspiration for these ornaments today.  Unfortunately, I used them to decorate an event at our church, and they're packed away right now, so they weren't easily accessible to photograph.

I just received some fun supplies the other day, and included was this mini-clipboard by Fancypants.  It was the perfect size and I thought fit the style I was going for beautifully.  The hardware was easily removed and added again once I decorated it with some charming Perfectly Plaid paper by Lawn Fawn.

For the far right acorn, I tried a technique I found on Pinterest to give it an aged copper look.  It's a tutorial by Copic in the Craftroom.  I need some more practice, but I don't think it turned out too badly for my first time.

I printed the sentiment on a piece of decorated paper, diecut it, and added it to the clipboard along with some enamel dots and ribbon.  That was it.  Today's project only took me 2 hours to color, design, and put together.  That is quite a feat for me, let me tell you!

Here's a list of all the Copics I used:
Copics:  BG49, BG57, BG45, BG70, E09, E39, E97, E95, BG99, Y28, YR23, Y15, Y11,W8, W6, W4, W2, W00

Here are a few pictures of acorns that I have out on display right now.  The two glass acorns below are displayed on a tray with a fun pumpkin that actually lights up.  There are a few painted wooden acorns laying on the tray too.

I love all things felted.  So, of course I needed some felted acorns right?  These babies are on display in a fun twig nest.

And lastly, this ornament is laying at the base of my vintage tree collage.  I leave it up and decorated year round.  This guy is just way too big for my 2 1/2 ft tree, so he's gracing the bottom along with a crown and some other vintage goodies.

That's it for me today y'all.  Be sure to stop by the Power Poppy Blog for a list of all the gals sharing their acorn projects today.   I hope you are enjoying your weekend. 

  Happy Stamping!!
