Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to my American followers! I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday. I wanted to share a quick post with my version of Tim's November tag. I thought they would be adorable as place cards on my Thanksgiving table so I whipped a few up last night!

I think my favorite thing about my place cards is this adorable little pearl acorn. When I saw the acorn charm on Mylissa's version of Tim's tag, I was inspired to make one of my little pearl acorns using the new pearl baubles. I love that there is no hole to hide like a regular pearl bead. I used caramel alcohol ink to color it, then glued it into a real cap. I screwed an eye screw into it so that it could be hung from the twine. So cute - thanks for the inspiration, Mylissa! :)

Another fave is the little fork, which was cut using an older Karen Burniston die. It's not available through Sizzix anymore, but I did find someone selling it on Amazon (link below). I cut it from foil-covered chipboard and painted it with black distress paint to give it a tarnished look.

The rest of my card was done following Tim's instructions, other than I used the distress spray stains and a water brush to color my leaf - I'm horrible with  markers and this way is so much easier for me!

The supplies I used can be found at Amazon, Sizzix, and Simon Says Stamp via the links below. BTW, the Alphanumeric set is on sale at Sizzix right now for an amazing price - it's a great time to snap it up!
