ID: MC Jan/13 - Quill Fringing - Some People card
size: 5"w x 7"h

Created: January 12, 2013
Modified: March 21, 2013

I'm still designing samples for classes I'll be teaching starting in March and this is one of the samples which uses fringing dies.

A quilling friend was kind enough to give me a Reader's Digest book - the kind that have a gold edge on one side... used that edge for some of my fringed flowers and the text portion for another flower... You can see the acidic nature of the pages in the two different colors of beige flowers... they're antique.

PS the brown ribbon on the left side is really straight, but the card was slightly curved when the shot was taken giving the appearance of a crooked ribbon - sigh!!

Using one of the newer stamps "Some People Like Flowers..." from the "Garden's Delight" set from Quietfire Design .

The main card is cream toned, side folded. I used a Craft Concepts embossing folder (Weaving Block set) for the background, shifting it to do the full card front. Then lightly touched the high points with a sponging tool and Distress Walnut Stain pad.

Next layer is the lace piece (Just Rite "Lace Background"), stamped on cream cardstock with Versafine Toffee, then white embossed., Cut close to the stamping and sponged with Distress (Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, lightly with Dried Marigold, and the edges with Walnut Stain). Adhered to card front.

Adhered the glittery brown ribbon.

The vase (Serendipity Stamps "Vase Set") is stamped on cream cardstock with Distress Pumice Stone and clear embossed, then colored with Pan Pastels using a Quilled Creations sponge tip applicator. Cut out and made a slit in the center vase to stuff my die cut branches through. Branches (Memory Box "Leafy Branch") die cut from dark brown cardstock.

Die cut the fringes (Quilled Creations "Mum" die set) from Reader's Digest pages then rolled them around tight coils of either brown or bright yellow paper. Adding a small rhinestone in the centers. The white fringed flowers are die cut from Arches Text Wove paper - a really great paper for quilling.

Stamped my quote - same as lace background and clear embossed. Die cut with Spellbinders Label Four, cut off the edge on the right side and adhered to card front with a double layer of 3D adhesive tape to make it really stand up.
