Take some scrap white paper and your Crushed Curry ink and stamp three leaves, with a mix of dark and light (stamped-off).  Then with your Cinnamon Cider ink stamp two acorns.  Use the dies to cut each of these out.  Adhere two leaves and an acorn to the lower left corner of the Basic Beige plaid paper on the front of your card. 

From another piece of scrap white paper stamp the “Thankful for you” greeting in Crushed Curry ink and use the arrow label die from Traditional Tags dies to cut it out with the arrow facing to the left.  Adhere to the upper portion of your plaid piece butted up to the right edge. 

For the inside of the card adhere your remaining piece of white card stock.  Adhere the leaf and acorn in the lower left corner.  For the greeting stamp the “Your friendship means the world to me” greeting in the upper center.
