Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a card to share with you using the new Autumn Icons Fancy Dies that were released on Tuesday as a September kit add-on. They are so pretty and I love that they can be used as a focal point on a card or as an embellishment.
For my card, I started off by adding some double sided adhesive sheet on to some white cardstock. I then cut this using the leaf die from the Autumn Icons Fancy Dies set. I cut this another two times, just from white cardstock this time. I layered these up with liquid glue, with the adhesive sheet one on the top. I removed the backing paper from the adhesive sheet and then added Sunkissed Copper Gilding Flakes to it. Once the die cut was covered, I brushed away the excess. I love how the leaf looks with the gilding flakes!
I took one of the sentiments from the Thank You Messages Stamp Set and with a bit of masking stamped the 'thanks' wording on to black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and then heat set it. This was then cut in to a thin strip. I took a panel of white cardstock and added the leaf on top with more liquid glue. I then added the sentiment strip with foam tape.
The panel was added to a black A2 card base with more foam tape. To finish off, I added some clear jewels around the leaf and sentiment. I love the look of the gilding on the leaf, I think it brings out its beautiful shape perfectly! Thanks so much for popping by today! I hope you have a lovely day!

I love simple. My simple is like a Columbo show. Just one more thing. Lol
Very nice! Such a pretty leaf!
I love your card. It is so simple yet very elegant. That could be used for lots of cards
pretty, soft, simple, sweet!
The leaf really does look good with the gilding. I imagine it looks even better in person.
