ID: MC Sept/14 - Quill Flower - Give Thanks  card
size: 5"w x 7"h

Created: September 6, 2014
Modified:

I got a bunch of the newest calligraphy stamps from Quietfire Design and had to use one of them... ("Give Thanks" 2 pce set)

I also saw a die with matching embossing folder from Sizzix "Layered Leaf" and I said to myself... I can make one of these... I drew a maple leaf and cut it out in 3 sizes, cutting 2 of each shape. On one of the shapes I used Enamel Accents for the veins. Left it overnight to dry thoroughly. Using a tan mat and running through my embossing machine, it created embossed veins in my leaf.

 

 

I side folded my white card. Used the negative part  of a die cut (Spellbinders "Timeless Rectangles") done on mango colored cardstock and adhered to front.

eCut the three sizes of maple leaves, direct to paper with Distress "Scattered Straw". Some I added "Wild Honey" &/or "Worn Lipstick" &/or "Peeled Paint". Ran through my embossing machine using the enamel accents veined piece I mentioned above. Direct to paper with "Crushed Olive". Adhered them to card.

Die cut the acorn vine (Cottage Cutz) from white cardstock and colored with above pads. Added some Distress embossing powder on the acorns, first with "Scattered Straw" then reinking and then with some "Walnut Stain" giving the acorn a mottled look.

Stamped the quote on white cardstock using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed, then die cut with Spellbinder's "Romantic Rectangles", altering the size to fit my stamping. Hit the edges with the honey pad and clear embossed. Adhered the lace trim then adhered to card and added the flower ribbon.

Adhered my quilled flower which is basically all created with tight coils. The center one is then dome shaped and glue added to the inside to keep it's shape (I added a piece of fringed quilled paper). The curls/petals are adhered to a punched circle then the center adhered on top.

As a final touch added some pearl flourishes.
