MC Sept/14 - Quill Flower - Give Thanks

I got the newest calligraphy stamps from Quietfire Design - they're gorgeous as usual. And for a  limited time they are 20% off. So had to use one of them...
Give Thanks set.

I also saw a die with matching embossing folder (Tim's Layered Leaf) and said to myself... I can make one of these... so made it in three sizes and embossed it using my Cuttlebug....

And I was in a mood to make one of these Chrysanthemum type flowers...
