Scalloped Frame - There Is Nothing Wine Won't Cure - Wine is Sunlight - Easel

My turn on the Quietfire Digital blog and I was in a mood for some wine... and then I had some with super... BIG GRIN

I'm using a design element and quote stamp from Quietfire Design ("Wine Is Sunlight..." 4pce set).

Also using a clear sentiment "Happy Birthday Collection" from Quietfire Design also available on Elizabeth Craft Designs HERE.


And am using a couple of Suzanne's electronic files available on Silhouette onLine store, item #293004 and #297725. Click images to purchase.

  

Opened SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot software) and the - Scalloped Frame. Ungrouped and broke apart to remove the 2 inner ovals, then regrouped the scalloped oval. Cut and pasted the scalloped frame and small oval to page 2 (see pic below). Used the large of the ovals and resized it to the outside dimensions of the scalloped oval. Created a shadow layer or Increased the size by 0.050

Copy this oval and paste it onto page 1 and 2.

On page 1, flip the 2nd oval and merge it slightly with the first then weld the 2 ovals. This is the basic structure for the easel. When cut, score down the center of the top oval.

Hit the card base direct to paper with Distress Oxide "Wilted Violet". 

Inked the scalloped frame with Versafine Clair "Monarch" and clear embossed twice. Adhered to card front.

 Changed the color for the word "wine" and print and cut the oval shape. Adhered to card front. 

On the floor: colored a piece of white cardstock using the oxide violet pad and clear embossed twice. Punched a bunch of circles using a 1/2" circle punch. adhered to a piece of scrap paper to hold the circles in place. Used a white gel pen to add a highlight to each circle. Stamped the leafy bit (lower portion of the "Wine is Sunlight..." quote) using Versafine Clair "Twilight" and fussy cut around the leaves and grapes. Colored with a Tombow marker and adhered to grape cluster. Folded it about a 1/3 down and adhered to floor to act as my 1st stopper.

Cut a small oval, stamped the quote with the Twilight and clear embossed. Folded it between the words and adhered to floor to act as my 2nd stopper.

Stamped the sentiment onto the floor using Versafine Clair "Purple Delight" and clear embossed. Sponged some oxide around the edges.

Final touch added some Liquid Pearls "Orchid" dots in the leafy grape cluster.

Autumn Flourished - Scalloped Frame - Leaf Silhouettes - Second Spring

Yogi here today with a quilled autumn leaf on an easel card using a fabulous "Autumn" word. Love this one to pieces. BIG GRIN. Also using a "scalloped frame" (very handy design) and the "4 leaf silhouettes" (indispensable file...).

These are what the files look like

 I'm using a quote, sentiment and design element stamp  from Quietfire Design 

("Autumn is A Second Spring..."); ("Thinking of You" 2 pce set); ("Crackle" Background")

I scored and folded my cream toned cardstock to create the easel, cutting a second piece for my front. Ran through my embossing machine using Crafts Too "Leaves". Hit the high points with Distress "Mustard Seed" and then some and Peeled Paint" using a sponge. Adhered to front of card.

I opened the Silhouette files in Sure Cuts A Lot software. Increased the width of "Autumn" to 4.5"w and cut from cream toned cardstock. Painted with Distress acrylic Dauber "Walnut Stain", dried, applied Versamark all over and embossed with Emerald Creek "Oil Rubbed Bronze" embossing powder. Adhered to front. Adhered my quilled autumn leaf - see below for how I made it...

On the floor: Opened the "Scalloped Frame" , ungrouped everything and hid all but the oval shape. Resized to fit my quote, having the oval at approx 3"w. I found the scalloped portion a bit too pronounced for my card, so resized that to 3.5"w, leaving the oval shape the same size. Painted the scallop with the walnut stain. Stamped my quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Sponged some "Wild Honey" around the edges, then adhered to the scallop piece. Scored approx 5/8" and adhered to floor to act as my stopper.

   
I opened the leaves and did not alter their size. Cut from the cream cardstock. Stamped with the "crackle" stamp using Versamark and clear embossed. Went direct to paper with "Fossilized Amber", "Wild Honey", "Festive Berry' and "Peeled Paint". Cleaned off the ink on the embossing then adhered to card floor.

Stamped the sentiment using the black and clear embossed.

Final touch, added some mini half pearls in each scallop and tied a narrow ribbon burgundy bow.
     

Die cut a leaf (Sizzix Bigz die "Tattered Leaves" from mat board or chipboard. You need something that gives you depth. You could also layer several regular cardstock together to create the depth.

Cut a leaf from regular cardstock and color with appropriate colors. It will be hidden, but some will peek through.

Insert into die cut mat board - DO NOT ADHERE....
I used various 1/8"w quill paper, including some "Highlights" paper which is a different color on both sides - gives a nice effect.

Cut your paper to approx 6" long and make a loose coil. Pinch on either end to create what's called a  Marquis.

Adhere to colored leaf only. As you get more coils made, you can start adhering the coils to the floor and to their sides, as long as you don't adhere it to the mat board...

When all filled in, just pop out the leaf from the mat board.
