I designed my own designer paper by using a baby wipe as my ink pad (drop several colors to a baby wipe and press stamp onto the baby wipe) for my maple leaf image, stamping randomly all over ivory cardstock. For more definition, I the stamped the maple leaf in eggplant and lettuce ink pads. I sponged the outer edges of the ivory cardstock with Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo distress inks. I then sprayed copper Glimmer Mist and Champagne Mist onto the cardstock for a shimmery effect. I colored the acorn images with Twinkling H20s and cut them out.
I wish you could see this IRL because it's so shimmery!
Thanks for another inspiration website, Stef!

Your bg paper is sensational...you don't need to buy any DPs...you create gorgeous ones yourself! Love your card with the acorns in the diamond-shaped panel.
