Friends of Unity September 2024 Hop, Color Challenge

Hey friends! I did not participate in last month's hop. I had a busy August. Our youngest graduated from the University of Cincinnati and my hubby had surgery. I took some time off from work to nurse him back to health. We both returned to work last week. He is doing great. 

I love a good color challenge, but I especially love this one. Why? Because it has the beautiful colors of fall. This hop is extra special. We are hosting this very color challenge on the Unity Show & Tell Page. Post your creations for your chance to win a prize. I'm so excited to see what everyone creates. This is going to be so fun.

Here are the colors:

I have been wanting to make this card ever since I saw a gorgeous card Melissa Phillips made with acorn stamps. I remembered that Unity has an acorn stamp in an older Kit of the Month. I always thought it was a pretty stamp. 

Here is my acorn card; I am so happy with how it turned out:

This card was created on cream card stock. I used a Gina Marie mini slim line die on a piece of fall themed pattern paper. This piece was placed directly onto the card base. I layered a Stampin' Up paper lattice over the die cut. The leaf stamp is from the August 2022 Kit of the Month, hope is stronger. I fussy cut the leaves and placed them on my card using foam adhesive. I cut two skeleton leaves using Gina Marie dies on pattern paper and layered them over the stamped leaves. I then layered 49 and Market acetate pieces over the skeleton leaves. Two green leaves (Prima) were placed over the 49 and Market acetate pieces. I stamped the acorn on water color paper and used Karin markers to color. This beautiful acorn stamp is from the August 2019 Kit of the Month, warm and cozy. This is a gorgeous kit. I fussy cut the acorn and placed it on my card with foam adhesive. I then stamped the sentiment, give thanks, and cut it out using an oval cutter. The sentiment is from the August 2020 Kit of the Month, count your blessings. I love how bold the font is. I added a Making Memories pumpkin brad and Gina Marie enamel dots for more interest.

Thank you for taking the time and hopping with us. We appreciate your support and lovely comments. Here is the hop order once again, in case you need it.
