Stamped my sentiment with Versafine
Sepia on a cream toned card and clear embossed.
I partially cut a mask from some mat
board using a Spellbinders Labels #18 largest die, then continued
cutting with my x-acto knife. Embossed the front of my card with
Couture Creations Serenity series embossing folder "Ambrosia" and
placing my mask to only emboss around the edges. Sponged with
Distress Scattered Straw and Frayed Burlap.
I used Distress stains to color the
scrap edge from some Arches Text Wove paper I had laying around,
misted with water and dried, then cut into strips. Used a quilling
comb to create the leaves.
For the fringed flower I used a wide
copper metallic quill paper (7/8"w), folded it part way - lengthwise
so it's now approx 5/8"w - and placed on my largest fringing die (Quilled
Creations "Mums") with the folded edge just shy of the cutting part
of the die, ran through my machine and then removed it from the die,
unfolding the fringe to get a double length of a fringe. I used a
thin quill tool to curl the fringe all of them in the same
direction. I wanted to put it onto some Mizuhiki cord, but couldn't
find mine... so put it on to a braided gold string. I put a piece of
3mm Sookwang tap along the quill strip, folded over the end about a
1/2" onto the braided string to start the flower, then started to
twist around the string. Each flower is half the length of the quill
die cut.
Adhered the quilled elements.
Stamped the sentiment on the inside
with the sepia and clear embossed. Stamped the leafy branches (Stampin
Up "Blossom" set) a couple times with Distress Scattered Straw and
touched with Crushed Olive. Then adhered my quilled leaf.
