Autumn Leaves, Gilding and Card Making

Quietfire Design stamps and Modern Gilding Powders / card design by Kim Gowdy


Happy Wednesday! It’s me, Kim...here on the blog once again! I’m showing up today with a food hangover after our Canadian Thanksgiving feast over the weekend! My heart is happy and honestly there is so much to be thankful for. Autumn always puts a smile on my face, I would love to hold onto this season endlessly! Autumn was most definitely the inspiration for my card! 

Let’s take a peek at my steps.

I used the Modern Gilding Powders in ‘Copper Scroll’ on the chipboard wreath. I just LOVE the colour and shine. Copper scroll is the perfect autumn colour!

To create my leaves, I used the Quietfire Design Leaves #6082 set.

I stamped them onto a mono-print that I had created earlier in the year using a gel plate. These were embossed using the Modern Gilding Powders in ‘Gothic Black’. It was perfect to capture all those fine details!


Next came the fussy cutting! Sorry folks...there is no way of getting around this step! It’s the perfect task to complete with some TV in the background!

I set all my leaves aside to create the background on a sturdy white cardstock. This was simply done using the Away With Stencils - Leaf Snowflake from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I used some soft, muted Distress Oxide inks to add the colour.

My sentiment stamp is from the Quietfire Design set Autumn Collection #5662. I used my favourite Versafine black ink to stamp the quote slightly higher than center.

The fun part was building the wreath and seeing the card come together. I used Glue Dots to secure the wreath and leaves. Nuvo Drops were used to add the little dots of yellow and a small bow finished it off. I honestly LOVE how it turned out!
