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!

I can only imagine how shimmery this is in real life, Charlene. Gorgeous card. I love that image. I wish I knew if I had it or not...but I seem to lose track.
