MC Dec/15 - Angelina Flower - ECD Hello - Each of Us - HB

And another card left by the wayside and finally uploaded... This one has a flower and die cut from Angelina fibers that were heated to make a paper like substrate to die cut for the word and to wrap around wire for the flower.

I'm using an Elizabeth Craft Designs die "Hello" (also available on Quietfire Design HERE)

MC Sept/14 - Quill - Holly & Ivy

One of the challenges called for no rubber or digi stamps... that's not easy for me to do, since I almost always use a Quietfire Design quote or sentiment stamp... So instead I used one of Suzanne's newest eCut designs available on the Silhouette OnLine store "Holly&Ivy"

I side folded my white card (4.25"w x 5.5"h) and embossed with Sizzix (Tim's "Holly Branch") embossing folder. I did cut the folder apart and taped it together on the opposite end so I could position the embossing more to the top of my card... Hit the high points direct to paper with Distress "Shabby Shutters", then with "Pine Needles". Sponged around the rest of the card front with a dirty green sponge.

Adhered my quilled elements. Those holly leaves are made with a double length of lime green paper (ugh!!) so I colored on one side using a Distress marker "Pine Needles". The berries are tight red coils which I dabbed with some glue and sprinkled with Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter "Regal Red". Also added the same glitter on the embossed berries.

Adhered a narrow green ribbon on the left side with Sookwang tape.

eCut the words from white cardstock and then while still on the mat direct to paper with ""Fired Brick", then the Shabby shutters, then some pine needles. Removed from mat and applied Versamark on the words and clear embossed. Adhered to card front.
