This is just a printable collage sheet with feathers I created lately for my own needs when I was asked to create a special card for an autumn wedding in October. I chose pretty natural autumn colors, leaves and a handwritten scanned antique wedding document from a friends grandparents.
The bird feathers match and can be used with the fantastic new Sizzix die from Tim Holtz, the writing desk. I just LOVE it.

Little DIY Halloween wreath from glossy and matte card stock
I just love this holidays wreath die and tried to use it for more than only christmas. I created a witch hat with tulle and combined matte and glossy card stock with orange paper as color accents in the background.
If you do not own the dies to cut this yourself you can buy the parts as a crafts kit with all parts included from here:

Repurpose of old copic markers – distressed edges on autumn fall leaves
and if I say old I MEAN old. What a quality! I bought them around 30 years ago for my fashion design studies.
Distressed edges are so popular lately, my colors of ink pads are limited and of course impatient me wanted to do it right now!
So I remembered the drawer with the old markers. And indeed it worked. With the ink blending tool I had to work quick, because the markers ink is drying quickly. But it worked and I had a beautiful choice of colors 🙂
Have fun to check your old markers and reuse them for modern techniques!
For the leaves I used my autumn leaves papers available here:
