Quilled Elegance Day Three

Hi there! Just popping in for day three of the Papertrey Ink countdown and for today I'd like to focus on one of my two stamps sets from this month... Quilled Elegance.

So, let me get right to it...
First up, a one layer card.  Using the sentiment frame (the same one from yesterdays post) I inked only one side in black ink (the largest side), positioned it verticaly and stamped onto a kraft card base.
This card shows you a bit of this sets coloring side.  After stamping I chose a few Copic markers and enhanced each quill with a bit of color.  Then finished the card off with a sentiment and black rhinestones.
Up next... I used the same image portion as above, but this time I inked it in gold ink and stamped onto a piece of enchanted evening cardstock.
Before attaching the enchanted evening cardstock strip to the white card base, I applied a strip of gold washi tape.  Then stamped the sentiment and rounded the bottom corner.
Here's A Tip: The "Happy Wedding Day" sentiment is actually designed as one continual line, but to break it up into three parts (like above) I've carefully masked off the desired portion with Post It Notes before inking.  Please note... after inking, you will need to remove the Post It Notes before stamping because they will be covered with ink.  Also, for perfect placement, I began stamping the middle word first.
Last but not least, a simple yet elegant wedding card. 
I began by hand stamping a pattern onto a rustic white card base, using three of the quilled images (not yet seen) in gold ink.
To break up the busy pattern a bit I attached a wide kraft cardstock strip.  On top of that I adhered a sentiment stripe, stamped with a sentiment from another new stamp set...Just A Kiss.  Then finished the card off with a Studio Calico veneer heart, which I pressed into my gold ink pad.

Well, that's all I've got for you today.  Just remember... the Quilled Elegance stamp sets will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning December 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please feel free to share!

Now, be sure to visit Nichole Heady and Danielle Flanders for peeks at Heart-2-Heart #11 and more Quilled Elegance. Also, Lizzie Jones, Lexi Daly, Heather Nichols and Melissa Bickford have peeks to share with you of their newest sets for the month.
